ABOUT

I'm an international student from India, currently studying BSc Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London. I'm specializing in Software Engineering in my second year, with a primary passion for game development and a strong secondary interest in cybersecurity.

I spend most of my time building things — browser-based games with custom physics and AI, portfolio sites with interactive mechanics, and academic projects involving design patterns, algorithms, and software architecture.

My goal is to build engaging, intelligent games. In the meantime, I'm actively seeking IT and software engineering internships where I can grow, contribute, and work alongside people who ship great products.
