About Me

I’m Prateek, a game designer and developer based in St. John’s, Newfoundland. I’ve always been the kind of person who asks “but why does this feel good?” mid-match, then stays up too late trying to answer it. Games were never just entertainment for me. They’re shared moments, little worlds, and the best excuse to get friends in the same room.

I’m curious, a bit restless, and happiest when I’m making something from scratch. I notice the small things: how a space guides you without saying a word, how one fair rule can keep a whole table laughing, how polish turns a prototype into something people trust. I like collaborating, learning in public, and finishing what I start. If you want someone who brings care, clarity, and genuine enthusiasm to the work, that’s the energy I show up with.
