RL in Gaming industry or AI lab

Hi! I am currently working as an MLE in a tech company in NA around 1.5 years after I graduated. I have strong passions on RL and have worked on a control flow system for my work in production. But majority of my work is more on traditional ML system side. I graduated from a math degree with from a well known Canadian company. I am also taking the online master right now with taking graduate level deep rl courses, I am humbly looking for any insider suggestions on how to break into RL application/research area. I will definitely try to scale up the RL application in my current work but just will face difficult before breaking into the seniority.
