Being a computer science student opens up a vast world of opportunities, from software development to cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI). Among the many fields, game development and AI engineering stand out as two of the most exciting and rapidly evolving domains.

Why Game Development?

Game development is more than just coding; it's an art that brings creativity, problem-solving, and storytelling together. My passion for gaming led me to explore how games are built, and I quickly realized that it involves multiple disciplines:

• Programming: Learning languages like C++, Python, and JavaScript
• Game Engines: Exploring Unity and Unreal Engine
• Graphics & Physics: Understanding rendering, shaders, and game physics
• Design & Storytelling: Creating engaging worlds and narratives

Why AI Engineering?

Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, including gaming. AI is not just about training models; it's about making software smarter, automating processes, and enhancing user experiences. Some key areas I'm diving into:

• Machine Learning & Deep Learning: Using TensorFlow and PyTorch
• Natural Language Processing (NLP): Developing AI assistants and chatbots
• Computer Vision: Enabling AI to interpret images and videos
• Reinforcement Learning in Games: Training AI to play games like an expert

Learning Path & Resources

For fellow students who want to embark on this journey, here are some useful learning paths and resources I've found helpful along the way.

Projects & Experience

Through AL Studios and ZreeGames, I've had the opportunity to work on various exciting projects and gain real-world experience in both game development and AI engineering. Currently, I'm also proud to be working on ISRO projects representing Citech, combining my passion for technology with meaningful applications.
