Passionate about games and innovative technology solutions that drive game quality.

Before Seven League, I spent my time in the games industry working at EA (EA UK and Criterion), Acclaim, and Psygnosis/Sony. My roles have generally been as Lead Programmer or Technical Director, either for the studio, core technology or particular franchises/games.

Over the years I have worked on many franchises including Valve Games (The Orange Box games, Counter Strike Global Offensive, DOTA2), Battlefield, Harry Potter, Need for Speed, Burnout Paradise, Crazy Taxi. and lots of other games in most genres.

Programming expertise : Most Consoles, PC ( Windows/linux/mac), C++, low level optimisation and assembler, many script and higher level languages. Most areas of game tech : Rendering, Physics, AI, Network, UI….

Whilst I have managed large groups (eg 30+ programmers), I also enjoy programming more than ever, and spend as much time possible coding as I can.
