Hello, I'm Thamilavan. With a Master's degree in Computer Games Design, I've honed my skills in the art of game development. My approach blends a meticulous attention to detail with a flair for imaginative solutions. While I thrive in team settings, I am equally adept at driving projects independently, balancing collaboration with self-driven innovation.
My experience spans various facets of game design, from intricate system implementation to comprehensive documentation. If you're seeking a versatile designer who values both teamwork and individual expertise, I'd be delighted to connect and discuss potential collaborations.
