I'm Dinesh Balaji,
Game Developer / Gamer

I've had the pleasure of working with Dinesh for over 6 years now. He has a calm demeanor that helps in high stress deliveries. His technical skills have helped the team manoeuvre out of many difficult situations. He has been an asset to every project he has worked on.

Working with Dinesh has been an absolute privilege. He stands out as a sharp, forward-thinking professional with a rare blend of technical mastery and leadership. What truly impressed me was his ability to take on Unreal Engine — a technology that was still new and rapidly evolving — and build an entire team around it from scratch. At a time when most were still exploring what Unreal could do, Dinesh had already envisioned how to apply it effectively to our goals. He not only mastered the engine’s intricacies but also guided others through the learning curve with remarkable patience and clarity. Under his mentorship, a group of novices quickly grew into a confident, skilled team capable of delivering complex real-time experiences. Dinesh’s leadership style is grounded in precision, punctuality, and trust. He leads by example, setting high standards for himself while creating an environment where everyone feels motivated to perform their best. His ability to blend technical depth with genuine teamwork has been instrumental in turning an experimental idea into a successful, sustainable project. Dinesh isn’t just good at what he does; he makes the people and the technology around him better.

Dinesh has been a core part of our journey at Asiaville for the last 3 + years. He, along with his team, built our interactive and gamified content app AyeVee, and has since collaborated closely with us on launching our gamified shows. His perennially positive outlook, ability to problem solve on the go and steadfast diligence to completing the task at hand make him a true pleasure to work with. Given that ours is a completely new product, he was able to innovate and find solutions to a lot of challenging issues we faced on the product development side. Dinesh is a true asset to any organisation and I would recommend him unequivocally for any Product & Tech related projects.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Dinesh during his time as Tech Lead at Takeleap. From the early days of the company, he has been an integral part of our journey, contributing significantly to Takeleap’s growth and playing a critical role in the successful delivery of most of our projects. He is extremely dependable, with an impressive skill set and deep technical knowledge that consistently set him apart. He is also a great team leader, skilled at managing large teams and guiding them with clarity and confidence, while ensuring the team is always learning and staying updated with the latest technologies and developments. His reliability, combined with a “can-do” attitude and a practical approach to project milestones and delivery, ensured that challenges were consistently met with effective solutions and successful outcomes. Working with Dinesh has been an absolute pleasure. He is someone I would not hesitate to consult for his expert knowledge, and I would truly love the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

I remember working with Dinesh since 2017 and he has constantly improved his skills both in software and project management, he is someone who enjoys his work and delivers the best, be it simple UI UX to complex games, i wish him all success in his endeavors.
