Bio

I'm Rayane Debbarh, a junior at Alma College majoring in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration. I grew up in Morocco and came to Michigan to study, compete, and build games — and that's pretty much what I do. I'm on Alma's varsity swim team, which means early mornings and a lot of discipline, and I carry that same mindset into every project I work on.

I got into game development through Roblox Studio and I haven't stopped since. I completed the Complete 2026 Roblox Studio Masterclass on Udemy and built two games from scratch: The Lost Oasis, a desert adventure game, and Sky Obby, a five-stage obstacle course floating above snowy mountains. I'm also building on the CS side — Python, Java, REST APIs, SQL. I want to work in game design & development, and everything I'm doing is pointing in that direction.

On campus I'm the President of the Squirrel Club, Vice President of Finance of the International Club, and an active member of the Arabic, French, BPA, and Squirrel clubs. I was also selected for the Posey Global Fellowship to do research at the Osgood Center for International Studies in Washington D.C. — which was a completely different world from game dev, but taught me a lot about how to communicate ideas clearly and work across disciplines.
