About Me

Hi, I’m Chinmay, a game designer and QA who enjoys turning ideas into fun, playable experiences. I’ve worked across design, Dev QA, and prototyping, and I like figuring out why things feel good in games. I recently finished my master’s in game design and I’m always exploring new mechanics and how games shape emotion. When I’m not working, I’m usually playing something new or planning a road trip.
