About Me.
Hi! My name is Harsh, I'm a passionate gameplay programmer who is currently a student at Futuregames in Stockholm.
I'm a diligent problem solver, comfortable with venturing out of my depths to learn new things. I'm also a team player, which means I can push to new heights when working with other talented individuals and their differing perspectives. I have a great passion for implementing complex and well designed gameplay systems using clean code architecture and my engineering background has given me a solid understanding for math and physics. Apart from gameplay, I have a special interest in shader programming.
​
If I'm not coding, You can find me bouldering or scoping out the city's best book stores.
