ORIGIN STORY

Chettinad Vidyashram High School, India (2010 – 2022). B.Tech in AI & Data Science at B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute, Chennai (2022–2026). Building games since day one with a relentless focus on player experience, level flow, and game feel.
Passionate about designing games, platforming, and replayable design. I study commercial games, break them down, recreate their systems, and document everything.
Also a YouTube content creator — explaining gameplay systems, design decisions, and dev tutorials since Nov 2024.
