Aashish is a gameplay programmer interested in combining technology and creativity to create engaging experiences. He graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a degree in Computer Engineering and a minor in Game Studies and Design. Before coming to the ETC, he worked on a variety of games and interactive experiences using Unreal Engine, including helping to launch a commercial game at an indie studio. Through his previous experiences, Aashish developed an interest in areas beyond programming, including game design, UI/UX, and production, which he hopes to further explore at the ETC to become a more well-rounded game developer and discover new ways to contribute to creative teams.
