About

Hi, I’m Jayanthan Kamaraj, a Gameplay Programmer with 5 years of experience building interactive experiences in Unreal Engine. I’ve shipped work across gameplay systems, UI implementation, AI behaviors, and level setups, collaborating closely with artists and designers to deliver polished gameplay across team-based and independent projects.

I’m driven by storytelling and narrative design, and I enjoy turning ideas into playable experiences that feel engaging and memorable. I love rapid prototyping, making smart decisions under tight constraints, and driving end-to-end development from concept to release.
