Parth Naik

Parth is VECTRE’s lead programmer. He grew up in India, but moved to the states to explore his passions in Game Design. Parth is always eager to work hard to bring his stories to life, but is no stranger to relaxation. During his time off Parth loves travel, and has been to 14 different countries.

Parth has a background in Computer Science. But, inspired by his love for games, he went back to school to explore his passion from a game design and programming side. He was excited about the new immersive qualities of Virtual Reality, and how they can be used to experience stories in a brand new way.

Parth received his masters from UCSC with a Masters of Science in Games and Playable Media.

                                                
Michael is the Lead Interaction Design at VECTRE, and has been working in the field of VR for over 4 years. 

Michael is the backbone of VECTRE, and is the reason the team came together. He comes from a background of game design, technical art, and animation.
As Lead Interaction Design, Michael has to be detail-oriented and understand how the user will interact with the world’s we create to make VECTRE’s experiences as real as possible. His favorite aspect of creation is to add the little animations and details we call “the fire” that attempts to trick the end user into believing they have transcended into another reality.

Michael has a Bachelors of Science in Computer Animation from Full Sail University in sunny Orlando, Florida.
