What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and innovation, with opportunities for leadership and collaboration in game development.

I am a passionate and self-motivated software engineer with over a decade of game development experience, specializing in Unity 3D. I co-founded and successfully ran an indie game studio for 8 years, where I excelled in designing and implementing robust multiplayer architectures, CI/CD pipelines, and performance optimizations for both mobile and desktop platforms. My notable achievement includes creating 'The Light Inside Us,' which won the NASSCOM Indie Game of the Year in 2015.

Throughout my career, I have led the development of multiple hyper-casual prototypes and mid-core projects, focusing on innovative mechanics, user engagement, and scalability. I thrive in cross-functional collaboration, guiding teams to deliver high-quality interactive experiences. My technical skills encompass a wide range of programming languages and tools, allowing me to adapt and innovate in various game development environments.
