I am a game programmer and 3D artist.

I was born in Maryland but I grew up in Mumbai India. I’ve been passionate about video games and 3D art since I was little. I started digital drawing, 3D modeling and rendering as a hobby when I was 15. After graduating from Boston University with a BA in Computer Science I decided to further hone my 3D skills at BU's Center for Digital Imaging Arts. I completed a 3D Animation certificate at CDIA, and after being a TA there for a few months, I began working for a start-up game company in Boston. The company and I eventually moved to LA, where I now live.

I have many varied interests but they all focus on creating compelling 3D games and interactive art. My career and personal interests include game programming, modeling, lighting and rendering, and digital painting. My hobbies include designing vehicles, HDR photography and ultimate frisbee. I'm also an avid console gamer.

  • Metriod Other M

    Been playing through Other M for a bit. It’s one of the best mash ups of old school and new school level design and platforming. And its so pretty!

    In typical Metroid fashion some of the puzzles will have you scratching you head for a bit. The controls take a little bit to get used to but I highly recommend it if you like story driven SciFi games.

  • Games I can't wait to play

    I’ve been playing a lot of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Sin and Punishment : Star Successor lately; yes I finally bought a Wii and have been enjoying it greatly!
