Just a really quick aside to mention that I’ve tweaked my ‘about me’ section a tiny bit, and linked to my new LinkedIn profile. Also, I’ve added a few new links to my Blogroll (and indeed, to my Feedreader list!)
- I'm Mitu Khandaker, and I'm an independent games developer (as The Tiniest Shark) and videogames PhD researcher (at University of Portsmouth, UK). Basically, I think about, and design videogames. I also co-founded and run a charity called Arohon, helping the worlds poorest climb out of poverty, through the education & empowerment of rural women in developing countries. I occasionally write at various places, including a column for GameSetWatch called "Gambrian Explosion", about videogames and art, science, philosophy, and wonder. Basically, I ♥ multiclassing. Oh, and space. Definitely space. I believe cosmic perspective is important. Other stuff/projects/etc:
Hi, I'm Mitu.
