Did you know our WB Analytics team at WB Games Boston builds and manages the game telemetry data infrastructure that supports all our titles? Meet one of these brilliant architects, Data Engineering Manager karthik kadiyam! He first began his career in the healthcare industry after obtaining his master’s in computer engineering – but Karthik later joined Warner Bros. Games where he now focuses on delivering real-time analytical data at scale to game studios, enabling them to enhance user experience, optimize game mechanics, and drive valuable business insights. “I grew up playing video games like Mortal Kombat,” recalls Karthik. “It’s a dream come true that I now get to be a part of these titles and help make them even better for our fans.”. Having led multiple projects, it’s hard for him to pick a favorite title, but he does say that nothing beats the excitement of launch day. “Being in the thick of things during a game’s launch day is thrilling,” says Karthik. “Everyone is locked in, ensuring systems are performing smoothly, supporting live data monitoring and troubleshooting any issues that arise. So much goes into preparing for this day behind the scenes and it’s really rewarding to see all the positive feedback from our players.” Throughout his decade-long tenure at the company, Karthik has been exemplary in his work ethic and dedication, but he credits his team for bringing out his best. “I’m grateful to work alongside some of the best talent in the world,” he says. “It’s really the people and the culture here that keeps me motivated to do my best work.” But when he’s not at work though, you can find him playing cricket and basketball – or even catching a game of his favorite NFL team. He also loves spicy food and highly recommends the South Indian dish, Ulavacharu Biryani. But be warned, it’s not for the faint of heart! #EmployeeSpotlight #LifeAtWBG
