Front-end engineer with a game developer's instincts

I'm a Front-end React Developer at Valsense in Dubai, with 7+ years of experience designing, building and shipping software. Most of that time was spent as a Unity3D (C#) game developer — delivering 10+ commercial titles across casino, arcade and casual genres, from prototype to the Play Store.

Games taught me what great front-end work demands: smooth 60 fps interactions, tight memory budgets, real-time state that stays in sync, and UI that feels responsive under load. I bring that same focus on performance and player (user) experience to React.

My specialities are real-time multiplayer systems, casino game mechanics, performance optimisation and monetisation (IAP & AdMob). I've worked in agile teams across India and the UAE, on-site and remote.

Outside of work I'm a competitive gamer — which gives me real empathy for the people using what I build.

Candy Nova feature graphic
Personal project · Swap. Match. Go supernova.

Candy Nova

Match-3 candy puzzle in a sweet candy land: swap neighbouring candies to match three or more. Match four for a striped laser candy, an L or T shape for a wrapped bomb and five in a row for a chocolate Nova bomb that zaps every candy of one colour, and swap two specials together for board-wide combos. Levels set goals such as gold jelly to clear and frost blocks to break within a move limit, with jelly-wobble landings, chain cascades and sprinkle bursts throughout.

Personal project · Infiltrate. Steal the data. Stay unseen.

Ghostline

Top-down stealth through procedurally generated facilities: steal three data shards and reach the exit without being caught. Guards follow A* patrol routes, see in vision cones clipped by walls with a detection meter that fills faster up close, hear sprinting and thrown decoys, radio nearby guards and search around your last known position, while a facility-wide alert level sharpens every guard. Sprint, throw decoys and cloak, and finish unseen for a ghost bonus.

Word Wonder feature graphic
Personal project · Connect letters. Unlock the Wonders.

Word Wonder

Crossword and word-wheel puzzle: drag across the letters on the wheel to spell words and fill every slot in the crossword grid. Extra valid words count as bonus words and earn gems, which buy a hint or a hammer to reveal any tile, and finding words without a miss builds a gem-multiplying streak. Each crossword is generated from curated word stems so the wheel always has plenty of intersecting words, as you travel through World Wonders from the Great Pyramid to Chichen Itza.

Ludo Blitz feature graphic
Personal project · Roll. Race. Capture.

Ludo Blitz

Classic four-colour Ludo on a polished royal board against tactical AI rivals, or offline pass-and-play for 2, 3 or 4 people on one device. Rolling a six brings a token out and earns a bonus roll, captures send rivals home, and three sixes in a row forfeit the turn. The AI weighs safety, captures and race progress, rivals get tougher stage by stage, and the die and pawns are fully animated with confetti celebrations.

Personal project · Draw loops. Capture light.

Lumiloop

Arcade game about drawing with light: cross your comet's glowing trail to close a loop and capture everything inside, while dodging hunters and cutters and chaining combos. Loop detection uses real-time geometry, all sprites are generated from signed-distance functions, and every sound, including a two-layer adaptive soundtrack, is synthesized in code with no audio files.

Personal project · Anti-gravity racing vs AI rivals.

Voltrace

Top-down anti-gravity racer against five AI pilots on neon circuits generated fresh from Catmull-Rom splines and checked so they never overlap themselves. Each pilot has its own skill, aggression and drafting habits, plans speed from the curves ahead and picks a side to overtake. Drift, boost pads, slipstream and league progression round it out.

Personal project · Turn. Unlink. Set them free.

Untwine

Ring-rotation puzzle on a hexagonal lattice: tap a ring to turn it 60° and open its links to the neighbours. A ring with every link open slips free and flies away, which can free its neighbours in a chain reaction. Gold couplers turn two rings together and padlocked rings never turn. Clear the knot within the move limit, and beat par for three stars.

Prism Blocks feature graphic
Personal project · Place. Clear. Combo.

Prism Blocks

Block-placing puzzle with gem-like neon blocks. Drag pieces from the tray onto an 8x8 board and complete rows or columns to shatter them. Clearing on consecutive turns builds a combo streak that multiplies your points, and emptying the whole board earns a big bonus. Trays are dealt fairly so at least one piece always fits, and they get tougher as the score climbs.

Personal project · Outthink the machine.

Neural Siege

Strategy board game against NEXUS, a search-based AI. Clone a node into an adjacent cell or jump it two cells, and every enemy node touching where you land converts to your side. NEXUS searches your replies with alpha-beta pruning that goes deeper every tier, comments on the game, and can be borrowed for three hints per match. Beat it to climb ten tiers.

Elixir Lab feature graphic
Personal project · Pour. Sort. Brew.

Elixir Lab

Liquid-sort puzzle set in a neon alchemy lab: tap a flask to lift it, tap another to pour, and liquid only lands on the same colour or in an empty flask. Levels are generated deterministically and verified by a built-in solver that also powers hints. Later levels add more colours and mystery brews whose buried layers stay hidden until uncovered, with undo, hints and an extra flask trading off against stars.

Personal project · Tap. Launch. Clear the grid.

Arrow Puzzle

Minimal neon logic puzzle where each arrow flies off the board only if its path is clear. A procedural generator places arrows in reverse removal order so every level is solvable, and a built-in solver checks each one. Difficulty rises through long blocking chains, with endless levels after the curated set and custom Unity editor tools for previewing them.
