Hello, I'm Nabeela!

Gameplay Programmer

I help indie studios and startups build polished Unity games, from implementing gameplay features to optimizing and preparing projects for release. I write clean, maintainable C# code and can work on existing projects or build features from scratch.

I've worked on games for mobile, PC, WebGL, and AR, and have experience shipping to the App Store and Google Play.

Character Bio

Hi, I'm Nabeela, an experienced Unity game developer, always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and connections.

Alongside my Computer Science studies, I also learned game development as part of my degree and built my final year project around it. Along the way, I developed a strong foundation in OOP, DSA, and game architecture, which helps me build games with clean, maintainable, and scalable code.

After that, I worked at an indie studio where I built four games from scratch to polish. They are all live on Google Play and the App Store, with one reaching 5M+ downloads, and others reaching 100K+ and 50K+.

I'm currently working at a startup, where I build 2D and 3D games and AR applications in Unity across both client and in-house projects. I also manage the company's Google Play and App Store accounts, so I get to take the games I build all the way through development, publishing, releases, and updates. I work closely with senior developers as part of the team, which has given me the opportunity to learn from and contribute to more experienced engineers.

Want to work together? I'm just an email away!
