About Me

I am a Game Programmer with a single motive of building fun and enjoyable video games. I am passionate about making games and as a great man once said, "If you do something you are highly passionate about, it no longer feels like work". I am quite ambitious about working in the Video Game Industry which will not only allow me to contribute to this field but also serve my passion. Eager to learn, I try my best to keep myself updated with everything that's out there for me.

I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Game Development, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Mobile Application Development as well as a Bachelors Degree in Computer Engineering. I have 1 year of experience working as a Java Developer. I also hold a certification from Oracle as a "Certified Professional Java Programmer".
