Gurubaran Bhavanandan โ Software Engineer
Well, hello there! You're quite the curious soul, aren't you? ๐ Quick housekeeping: the name's a tongue twister, so Guru, GB, or Geebs will do just fine. (My friends have... other names for me. We don't talk about those. ๐) Now since you're poking around here, let me give you the quick rundown: I've spent many years in the gaming trenches - shipping titles across mobile, PC, and VR, wrangling engine code at the metal level, and leading teams through this beautiful chaos. From building slot games and casual hits with millions of downloads to delivering live VR experiences at Meta, I've been around the block and burned hours debugging most of it ๐ฅ But here's where things gets interesting. ๐ง These days I'm living at the intersection of game engines and AI. I'm building autonomous agent systems that turn prompts into playable game experiences baked right into the development pipeline. I've gone from "Jack of all trades" to "the bloke who teaches AI to be one too". Whether it's custom HLSL shaders or a fully functional gameplay mechanic, I'm still knee deep in a bit of everything except now some of that "everything" writes code back at me ๐ I still solemnly swear that I am up to no good ๐คซ Only now the mischief involves shipping AI powered dev tools at scale, dragging my team along for the ride, and figuring out how to make game development absurdly faster without sacrificing the craft. Fancy seeing what trouble we can get into? Slide into my DMs and let's build something magical and maybe break a few expectations along the way ๐ชโจ
