Raahul Sankaranarayanan | Game Programmer

Hello!

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.
