I am an independent designer and a programmer. I believe in creating polished games with unique mechanics and solve technical challenges along the way. I put a lot of heart into each project and try to make games as simple as possible. Over time my passion grew in the space of smaller pocket gaming. Initially it started off with creating browser games and as mobile development became mainstream, I switched my tools and continued working on various game projects. In university, I participated in various nation wide mobile competitions and won numerous awards. My adventure with game development dates over 10 years back. Here is one of my earlier Flash game projects from 2008: [Click here]
Each project I tackle is unique and carries technical challenges in the fields of algebra, math, server infrastructure, latest Apple technology, notification services, cash tournaments and uses frameworks such as OneSignal, Skillz eSports , Apple Pay, Amazon AWS, Google AdMob, Facebook Analytics. I closely track the mobile market and technology to utilize the latest services.
I like to combine clean code and well abstracted code structures with the esthetics of minimal graphics design. Combined with the fast paced and small nature of mobile game projects, it’s what attracts me most to mobile games. As a computer scientist and engineer, I often use my coding abstractions and game development expertise at workplace.
The main language I develop games with is C++ with the Cocos2dx game engine however I also worked with Unity and XNA (C#) and I interface with Obj-C for some iOS specific development. Even though I rarely work with 3D, I have some experience with writing OpenGL shaders and using 3D tools. Here are some of the languages and technologies I have used during game development
First place in a Canada wide mobile development contest called GDC hosted by XMG Studios with a reward of 25,000$. Click here to see the project
First place in a renowned Microsoft contest called Imagine Cup in mobile game development category
Finalist in Canadian Open Data Experience {CODE} Competition by creating a web app using government statics API to visualize data
Here is a partial portfolio of my most recent games.

A puzzle game about placing shapes in the correct place on the board. It’s simple and fun. It’s localized to over 15 languages.
A puzzle game with real cash tournaments and multiplayer battles between players. This game integrates In App Payments, Apple Pay and Skillz E-Sports framework.
A casual game about keeping a bird in the air and advancing downwards by snapping power lines. It includes multiplayer functionality whereby a player’s game state is sent and persisted on the server and used in player vs player challenges.
A fast paces, hyper casual game with a very unique, one touch mechanic about advancing a puck forward through rings. This game involved custom written geometry calculation and logic in order to link the rings with paths. The path and the rings are drawn programmatically using primitives.
An app featuring a set of animated riddles with voice over and captions. Each riddle is composed around a mystery and the user is presented with a question at the end. It’s similar to TED Riddles on Youtube except here the videos are highly interactive since every movement is animated rather than being a recorded playback.
A hyper casual game about advancing a ball through basketball hoops. This game features carefully picked color palette to pick current market trends.
