My name is Raahul, and I am a game programmer with over two years of experience in the gaming industry. I have earned a Master of Science in Computer Games Technology from Abertay University, Dundee, and hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science. My fascination with gaming was sparked at the tender age of four when I was introduced to Pokémon Sapphire by my sister. This early exposure ignited a lifelong passion not only for playing games but also for their development. My interest in esports in recent years has further propelled me to study Computer Science. I have honed my skills as a Game Programmer at Hammerplay Studios, where I applied my analytical abilities and coding expertise to develop and release several game titles. I am actively seeking employment opportunities within the UK's vibrant gaming industry.
In 2024, I completed my studies, delving deeper into the multifaceted world of game development. My focus areas included DirectX graphics, shader programming, low-level networking, AI, and advanced mathematical concepts. My thesis centered on the application of Spatial Audio and convolution reverb within virtual reality environments.
I started as an intern and was rapidly promoted to a full-time position. I have served as the project lead and have taken on diverse programming responsibilities, including UI, Audio, Gameplay, and Network. Additionally, I contributed to the development of an in-house LiveOps platform. My experience spans both client projects and the company's own intellectual property.
In 2021, I graduated with a solid understanding of computer fundamentals, state machines, and object-oriented programming. After exploring various disciplines, I chose to specialize in game development, a field I find immensely enjoyable and fulfilling.
