About Me
I started my career as a Game Programmer intern at White Designers Studios, where I worked on Gameplay Programming and gradually expanded into Technical Art. I later worked with Unbound Game Studio, Hamrahe Aval (MCI), and Apexia Soft, contributing to mobile games, a VR training simulator, and a 3D real estate platform.
Alongside my professional work, I've continued building personal projects covering different areas of Game Development, including browser-based games, interactive experiences, and experimental projects under Jolly Panda.
In recent projects, I've also been exploring Web Development and Full-Stack technologies, building projects with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, databases, and APIs.
I also write about Game Development, Game Design, and the game industry.
What keeps me building is curiosity — I like taking an idea and finding out what happens when it becomes a real, playable, and working product.
