Principal Graphics Engineer
I’m Tariq Mehmood, a graphics engineer and technical director. My work has spanned motion design, VFX, games and software since 2006. Today I design rendering systems, GPU simulation and creative tools.
I am based in Pakistan and available worldwide through remote employment or B2B contracts.
Current systems
Each product follows the same direction. Difficult graphics and systems work stays inside the tool so artists and game teams can work more directly.
Current focus
A local-first motion and visual workspace that combines video, 2D and 3D in one GPU renderer while keeping projects and source media on the user’s machine.
It keeps everyday visual work direct, with deeper control available when the work demands it.
WebGPU game technology
A WebGPU game engine and editor built around familiar authoring, versioned scene data, character and animation systems, and lean player builds that include only what each game uses.
Commercial Unity tool
Real-time volumetric fire, smoke and visual effects for Unity 6 URP. It is a shipped GPU simulation product for technical artists and game teams.
What I do
Rendering pipelines, GPU simulation, performance budgets, scene systems and production runtimes across Unity, native platforms and the browser.
I define architecture, set performance budgets and investigate difficult failures. My work spans research, implementation planning, code review, profiling and release.
Twenty years inside artist workflows informs how tools should feel: fast feedback, a high ceiling, clear defaults and complexity revealed only when it earns its place.
Native application architecture, local data, licensing, updates, analytics and media pipelines. These are the foundations required to operate shipped software.
Shipped evidence
An Apple Silicon Android emulator for macOS spanning virtualization, AOSP, input systems and graphics translation.
Explore the productAlloy Mouse, Recorder and Cleaner share one native product foundation across precision input, screen capture and Mac maintenance.
A mobile game studio with 150+ concepts and prototypes, including a flagship title that reached more than two million downloads.

The disciplines changed. The thread did not: understand a visual problem deeply, then build the machinery needed to solve it.
Since 2006, visual language, animation, composition and production craft have formed the base of my work.
Interactive advertising, game development, simulation and technical art moved that visual foundation into real time.
macOS products, Android emulation, capture pipelines and reusable product infrastructure expanded the systems depth.
ViStudio, Braze Engine and BrazeFX continue the same focus on rendering and authoring systems built around real creative work.
Visual foundation
That artistic foundation keeps every software decision connected to how visual work is actually made.
