Gameplay Programmer
My last role was at Jadu Inc, California, US as a Senior Gameplay Engineer. I am currently open to similar/relevant positions.
I embarked on my game development journey with a company that had a strong focus on AR / VR development. During my time there, I had the opportunity to work on projects for prominent names, which eventually led me to travel extensively throughout India. This journey allowed me to connect with professionals from various sectors and units, including major corporations. I even had the privilege of collaborating with government bodies, which opened doors to numerous opportunities, including showcasing team projects to the Prime Minister.
After spending a few years in this dynamic environment, I transitioned into the realm of mobile game development. This phase of my career involved collaborating with renowned publishers. Through my experiences in casual game development, I gained exposure to a diverse array of mobile game projects, spanning from casual and action-adventure titles to hyper-casual games.
In the past year, I had the incredible opportunity to contribute to an AA-tiered Action-Combat Multiplayer game. This endeavor enabled me to collaborate with some of the most exceptional talents not only in the United States but also globally. I had the privilege of working alongside individuals who had previously made significant contributions at industry giants such as EA, Epic, Riot, and Unity.
