Abhyu

Hello, I'm Abhyu 🙂

I’m a game designer, programmer and school-taught Software Engineer from India. I build games to create entertaining and immersive gameplay.

History

I completed my Bachelor of Computer Engineering degree from University of Mumbai, India. I started my career as a back-end programmer, where I focused on developing the server-side of applications to ensure they were stable and reliable. However, I was always interested in game development and wanted to learn more about how everything worked in this field.

Due to my passion and curiosity, I transitioned into a junior gameplay programmer role at a small indie studio. Here, I had hands-on experience working with Unity, Unreal, and VR technologies, and was responsible for contributing to the development of gameplay mechanics, systems, and features in video games. I also collaborated with other team members to create fun and engaging gameplay experiences for players.

Overall, my experience in back-end programming combined with my transition to a junior gameplay programmer role has given me a well-rounded background in software development. My experience in the gaming industry has also provided me with expertise in Unity, Unreal, and VR technologies, which will be invaluable in my future career pursuits.

With a recent Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Game Development from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Richmond BC, Canada, and a robust background in game development, I am eager to bring my skills and passion for innovative game development to your team.

Thanks for reading 😊
