Hi there, I'm Nikunj Kareliya! 👋

I build games from the first pixel to the final push. With 10+ years of experience, I have evolved into a full-cycle creator who bridges the gap between robust engineering and high-fidelity product design. I don't just write code; I architect systems that turn early concepts into scalable, commercially ready products.

 

I have contributed to 15+ shipped titles, including global benchmarks like Lumosity (100M+ downloads) and Play Osmo. Today, I leverage an agentic, AI-native workflow to operate as a high-velocity developer, taking ideas from "grey-box" logic to a "premium casual" polished feel in record time.​

​​

• Engineering & Architecture: Build scalable and modular game systems using game design patterns, software engineering principles

• Art Direction & Pipeline: Define visual identity, art-style, composition and craft production-ready 2d game-assets with consisitent art-style

• Product Design: Mastering the VIBE from core-loop design and difficulty tuning to deep performance optimization

• Game tools: Develop bespoke Unity editor tools for procedural level generation and validation pipeline streamlined delivery

​

If you need a partner who can own the entire lifecycle of a game from technical spark to polished product, let’s talk.​​​​ 💕
