Bio
Christopher Gibbs
Vineeth is a highly creative individual with a broad knowledge of games to draw upon and a good eye for meaningful innovation. Vineeth also has a good sense for the development processes behind making games and leverages this well to empower great creative leadership on teams. Vineeth was passionate and driven on all the projects I worked with him, aiming high on every one and always showing an incredible work ethic. One other point to call out is Vineeth's ability to manage change. Several times we faced the challenge of redirecting the team as business needs evolved, and Vineeth embraced these moments well, successfully navigating the team/product to success.

Working with Vineeth was an utter pleasure. Vineeth was always at the forefront of some of the most innovative games and applications developed, leading the game design and technical architecture of his creations. When innovating, there are bound to be hundreds of issues, but Vineeth always used a very clear and concise methodology to approach these problems and find solutions. Not only are his technical capabilities phenomenal, but he is a tremendous manager that has always been immensely respected for his approachable nature, encyclopedic knowledge, and desire to help others succeed. I've met few people with the level of diligence, determination, and go-get-em attitude that Vineeth has. Anyone that works with him will certainly benefit from his amazing experience.
