Games, data, and the space between.

I work on Wild Wild Smash at GameState Labs. I design the telemetry, write the BigQuery, run the A/B tests, and turn what players do into a list the game team can ship. Based in Bengaluru.

Thinks like a designer.
Reasons like an analyst.
Celebrates like a Punjabi.

I work at GameState Labs on Wild Wild Smash, a mobile game played mostly in India. My job is to find out exactly where players stop, and why: which level, which screen, which ad.

I sit between the game and the data warehouse. I write the event spec, check every release's telemetry before anyone trusts a chart, run Remote Config A/B tests, and look after ad mediation across eight networks. Away from work, I build small tools that make my Mac behave.

Selected levels.

Four boss fights · from Wild Wild Smash, 2026

  1. L1MobileRetentionBigQuery Where players vanish Release analysis · Wild Wild Smash Fewer players were reaching level 23 after an update. Cohort by cohort, I showed the real cliff sat between levels 8 and 16, lined up with the interstitials after a win, and handed the team the exact levels to look at. Game analyst · 2026Cliff found: L8 → L16
  2. L2A/B testOnboardingRemote Config Straight to level 1 Onboarding · Wild Wild Smash New players were stalling on a home screen before they ever played. The new build drops them straight into level 1, and I measured it against the old one, cohort for cohort. Game analyst · 2026Level-1 starts 60% → 88%
  3. L3AdsMediationAndroid Ad stack, end to end Ad mediation · Wild Wild Smash Wired eight ad networks into mediation, kept app-ads.txt honest across 612 lines, and traced where interstitials failed to show before blaming the players. Monetisation · 20268 networks · 612 lines
  4. L4TelemetryBigQueryData quality Trust the numbers Telemetry rebuild · Wild Wild Smash New events, one dictionary, and a check on every release before anyone reads a chart. Along the way I caught missing session ids, a stale export and test devices posing as players. Data & product · 2026Every release checked
05 / 06 — Reel

The reel.

Films taught me pacing before games did. A good third act and a good level ramp are the same thing. Swipe through the films that shaped how I think.

2007 · Sports drama

Chak De! India

Seventy minutes, sixteen players who can't stand each other, and the best team-building arc ever filmed.

★★★★★
2001 · Animation

Spirited Away

A whole world explained without a single tutorial. The gold standard for onboarding.

★★★★★
2006 · Drama

Rang De Basanti

Starts as a road trip, ends as a gut punch. The tone shift is a masterclass in pacing.

★★★★☆
2017 · Sci-fi

Blade Runner 2049

Every frame could be a loading screen. Patience as a design choice.

★★★★★
2014 · Drama

Whiplash

Pure difficulty curve. Not quite my tempo, but definitely my tempo.

★★★★☆
2016 · Sci-fi

Arrival

A film about reading signals from strangers. Basically a data analyst's origin story.
