Nothing matches the satisfaction of entertaining millions of people around the world and making them happy—helping them forget their worries. This is what motivates me to create experiences that truly matter.
Hi, I’m a game developer who loves turning code into experiences that make people laugh, think, or yell “WHOA!” at their screens. I didn’t always love coding—my college classes felt too abstract—but game development changed everything. Suddenly, math became a tool to make enemies chase players in clever ways, and art felt like giving personality to pixels.
I spend my days building systems that work smoothly (even when games get crazy), fixing bugs that seem impossible (I will out-stubborn them), and tweaking tiny details—like how a character jumps—until it feels just right. I play games every day, big and small, to learn what makes them fun. Why does one game feel addictive? Why does another feel balanced? I take notes, experiment, and steal ideas (shh) to make my own work better.
My favorites to create? Puzzle games where players feel smart for solving challenges, roguelikes where every playthrough tells a new story, and simple games that hide surprising depth. Outside of coding, I’m a huge sports fan—I’ve played cricket for years and would love to someday make a game that captures the thrill of teamwork and competition, even if it’s just a small passion project. I’m also a guitarist, which fuels my creativity and helps me think about rhythm, flow, and emotion—not just in music, but in game design too. Whether it’s crafting a satisfying gameplay loop or composing a melody, I love creating experiences that resonate.
I believe the best games come from teams where everyone’s voice matters. Artists, designers, players—we all bring ideas to the table. My dream is to make games that feel alive, where players forget the real world for a while. Not just flashy graphics or cool mechanics, but moments that make you call a friend and say, “You HAVE to try this.”
If you’re looking for someone who cares as much about the tiny details (like menu sounds) as the big picture, who’ll cheerfully grind through problems, and who still gets excited when code finally works… let’s chat!
