Game economy/progression designer based in India with ~4 years experience across ~10 shipped titles, owning end-to-end F2P economies (currencies, sinks/sources, energy gating, ads, and live-ops). Built spreadsheet and Machinations-based models to tune pacing and prevent inflation/mode dominance, and reports improving Sniper War D1 retention from 15% to 24% through multi-cycle telemetry + playtest-driven rebalancing.
