About

Hi, my name is Sanath Kukkillaya. I am a professional game developer.

I'm interested in two things: programming and games. Interest in programming led me to take up an engineering degree in Computers and Information Science and eventually a career in software development.

I started off as a software engineer working on Microsoft Dynamics CRM customization through a combination of C# and Javascript. While this was a great experience, I always wanted to do something more in line with my passion for video games. This eventually led me to Unity game engine. Being already experienced in C#, I was quickly able to learn Unity. After around 5 years in enterprise software, I was finally able to pursue my passion as a career choice.

For the past 3 years, I have been a full fledged game developer. Game development lets me combine my interest in programming with my passion for games. I have primarily worked on Unity engine, and have developed numerous mobile games for both Android and iOS platforms. While I haven't yet got a chance to work on a large scale AA or AAA game for PC or console, it does remain on the top of my wishlist.

I have spent close to 8 years of my life as a software engineer. The game of life in game development has just started, and I hope to have a great time playing this game for many long years!
