Peter Gyory is a software engineering technical leader and game developer with 11 years of experience building experimental interactive systems, from AI-driven simulations to rhythm games and custom controllers. With a Ph.D. in Creative Technology & Design and a track record as co-founder of Immortal Funk Games, he combines rigorous research, hands-on engineering, and playful design to create immersive gameplay and novel interaction paradigms. He has led AI behavior systems, real-time synchronization for rhythm mechanics, and cross-disciplinary teams while mentoring students as a university instructor with consistently high course ratings. Currently based in Boulder, he brings startup grit and academic depth to larger engineering leadership at Cisco, uniquely bridging prototyping culture and production-grade software practices. An award-winning innovator (IndieCade, ALT.CTRL.), he quietly delights in making “weird things to confuse the world,” turning curiosity-driven experiments into polished player experiences.
