Biography:
In a career that spans over 20 years of hardware and software development I have worked for most of the major publishers and studios all over the world. Currently as CTO at Halfbrick I spend my time pushing our technology to create exciting and engaging games. I have a background as a programmer, and have mainly specialized in engine and core technology development .. but I’ve worked on pretty much all aspects of games dev. I always try to improve the pipelines and workflows of all disciplines, and as games are fun, I strive to make developing them fun too!
