About the Author
gatherer ever since his early years. In short, he loves to break things apart, figure
out how they work, and then put them back together; usually better than before.
He started way back when with his first computer, the Commodore Vic20. It was
simple, used a tape deck, and forced you to write programs in basic or assembly
language; those were fun times. From there, he progressed through the ZX Spectrum
+2 and the joyous days of modern graphics, but still with the 30 minutes load times
from a trusty tape deck. Games were his passion even then, which led to many
requests for another gaming machine, but Santa brought him an Amstrad 1640, his
first PC. From there, his tinkering and building exploded, and that machine ended
up being a huge monstrosity with so many add-ons and tweaked fixes. He was
Frankenstein, and this PC became his own personal monster crafted from so many
parts. Good times.
This passion led him down many paths, and he learned to help educate others on
the tips and tricks he learned along the way; these skills have equipped him well
for the future.
Today, he would class himself as a game development generalist. He works with
many different frameworks, each time digging down, ripping them apart, and
then showing whoever would listen through his blog, videos, and speaking events
on how to build awesome frameworks and titles. This has been throughout many
generations of C++, MDX, XNA (what a breath of fresh air that was), MonoGame,
Unity3D, The Sunburn Gaming Engine, HTML, and a bunch of other proprietary
frameworks—he did them all. This gives a very balanced view of how to build and
manage many different types of multiplatform titles.
