Summary
Ranju Raveendran is an Unreal Engine Developer and lecturer based in Auckland with eight years of professional experience spanning game development, full-stack web apps, XR, and real-time computer graphics. He teaches software engineering and game/web development at Yoobee Colleges while also shipping freelance and studio projects, blending classroom mentorship with hands-on production work. His background in 3D animation and rigging (over a decade in animation studios) gives him a rare combination of artistic pipeline knowledge and low-level C++/Blueprint systems expertise.
