Hi there!

I am Aviral, an aspiring graphics and gameplay programmer from Los Angeles, USA. I am interested in the technology behind the pretty games, and the rendering engines that are used to create those games.

I am always curious about the newest evolutions in the gaming industry, and love to analyze and dissect the latest technologies. My love for game graphics, combined with a very strong interest in game engines always drive me to improve my knowledge on low-level systems in game tech.
