I’m Max, a games programmer based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Over the last 10 years I’ve shipped 7+ published titles across a range of platforms, along with several ports of existing games.

What I love about the industry is the people. Building something special takes programmers, artists, designers, animators, and audio engineers all pulling in the same direction—and I take real pride in writing the code that helps them realise their visions. The best part of the job is turning someone else’s idea into something that actually runs on screen.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me bouldering, hiking around Northumberland, or stuck into a good book.
