About Me
I'm Shashwat Shubham — a game developer with a full-stack engineering background that goes back to 2010. I started as a PHP freelancer, shipped high-performance websites, learned Android and iOS development, built a brand campaign game for Minute Maid in 2016, and eventually made games my entire focus. That history shapes how I work: production-minded, platform-aware, and capable of handling far more than just the Unity side.
I start with the player experience: movement feel, response, core loop clarity, and what makes a session worth repeating. Once the interaction is solid, I build the systems, pipelines, and infrastructure around it — UI, save systems, backend, analytics hooks, and platform packaging. I don't stop at the prototype.
Most game developers can't build a leaderboard backend, a custom admin CMS, or a WebGL deployment pipeline. I can — and have. My web engineering roots mean I deliver full end-to-end products: the game, the server, the database, and the release infrastructure. That's a different offering than a pure gameplay programmer.
Started professional development as a freelance PHP developer. Built high-performance websites for clients, learning production disciplines, client management, and server-side architecture from day one.
Learned Android development (Java) and explored Swift for iOS. Built and shipped mobile applications alongside web work. This cross-platform thinking later shaped how I approach game platform targeting.
Bought my first Android phone and got hooked on Temple Run. I couldn't figure out how an endless level worked — no seams, no repeating. That curiosity about object pooling, procedural generation, and runtime level design sparked an obsession I've never dropped.
Used Melon.js (a 2D JavaScript game library) to build and deliver an interactive browser game for Minute Maid as part of a brand campaign. This was a commercial, client-driven game delivery — not a game jam. The full-stack web experience made the deployment seamless.
After delivering the Minute Maid game, I began learning Unity in parallel and progressively moved all client and personal work into game development. Web engineering became my infrastructure superpower rather than my job title.
Building games across Unity for WebGL, PC, and mobile. Available for freelance contracts, studio roles, and long-term collaborations. I bring gameplay programming, production discipline, and backend infrastructure under one roof.
