Before #AsianPacificIslanderHeritageMonth comes to an end, we’d like to take a moment to highlight some of our APAC studio members by sharing their stories of their culture, career journey, and what keeps them inspired. Now introducing Shreyansh Kothari: Gameplay Engineer at Sledgehammer Games Foster City. "I was born and brought up in Kolkata, a metropolitan city in the east of India. My family is religious yet very progressive. There was nothing I couldn’t try, nothing I wasn’t allowed to dream of becoming. Studies were important, but so was everything else. Growing up, like every Indian kid, I wanted to be a cricketer or a pilot. Once my older cousin introduced me to programming, that was all I saw my future in. My career path was always going to go towards software engineering of some sort, but after my undergraduate degree, I spent a couple of months working at a software company and realized it wasn’t for me. I wanted to work on something where I could see my contributions, something I believed in. Before I found out about a Game Dev Master’s program at USC, a career in video games never really crossed my mind. It wasn’t something you’re exposed to in India. But once I was accepted, there was no looking back. I’m constantly trying to learn and improve, and working at Sledgehammer Games as a Gameplay Engineer gave me the best opportunity I’ve ever had to do exactly that. Being able to work with some of the most talented people I’ve ever met in all fields, not just my own, and to learn from them has been a blessing.” We’re proud to celebrate Shreyansh’s contributions to our team and the experience he brings with him. His journey highlights the importance of pursuing our passions. 🚀 #AAPIMonth #GameDevelopment #GameDev Activision #GamesIndustry
