Short bio:
A game developer by passion, a game producer by profession! I have seen the game industry evolve through platforms in the past 10 years that I have survived in this industry. The initial web games took over the mobiles, and now social games and smart phones rule. I've catered to the whole lot! My core focus has always been the Flash platform and all its supporting middle and back end languages. I particularly enjoyed developing games using Flash Lite on Nokia S60, S40 and Symbian^3 phones! With the dynamics now changing, new newest research subjects are HTML5 and Silverlight.
