Game Designer

About Me

I am a passionate gamer and developer who’s willing to go the extra mile (over 9,000 miles to be precise) just to study game development as it’s not a part of any graduate program in my home country, India. I’m a recent graduate from FIEA (Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy) with a specialization in Level Design. I specialized in multimedia and game development during my undergraduate computer science program in Singapore.

Learning in such diverse environments and working with talented people from different cultures and unique experiences helped shape me into the person that I am today.

I enjoy playing role-playing and action-adventure games the most, while Pokémon and Mario series will always have a special place in my heart. My introduction to the world of gaming dates back to the late 90s in India, when knock-off consoles were the only way we could play Mario, Contra, and other NES classics. Fast forward a few years, we brought home a PC that could barely run ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’ (great game btw!). Several years later I’m studying video game level design and the journey leading up to this day has been amazing. Eagerly looking forward to what the gaming world has in store for me next!

Apart from video games, I enjoy watching and playing a variety of sports - Cricket, Soccer, and Badminton to name a few. From fighting for bragging rights in fantasy leagues to getting on the field with friends, I truly love everything that sports have to offer.
