About

Hello, my name is Steven. I live in Cambridge and I've helped make video games for the last 15 years. I have worked at the following companies:

• Technical Fellow & Developer Technology Architect, Advanced Micro Devices (2016-Present)
• Principal Programmer, Advanced Technology Group (ATG), Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (2010-2016)
• Graphics Programmer, Core Technologies Group, Bizarre Creations (2009-2010)
• Technology Programmer, Juice Games (2007-2009)
• Tools Programmer, Slitherine Software (2005-2006)

I have a 1:1 degree in Computer-science-type stuff. I am a programmer who is more at home writing assembly language, but also cares about UX/UI and has a weird love for C#.

I tinker with hardware design in my spare time on my FPGA.

You can email me at firstname[dot]lastname[at]outlook.com.
