Software Engineer, Building Teams, Building Games.
Scott Bevin
Software Engineer, Building Teams, Building Games.
As a professional software engineer for almost 10 years, I have grown from a Junior right through to Programming Lead.
During my career I have had the privilege of working for and with a number of big name studios on amazing titles, directly contributing to the development and release of 13 titles.
I am currently Programming Lead for d3t where I line manage 11+ junior & mid-level programmers, am part of the hiring team and directly lead cross-discipline teams on title development.
Constantly looking to learn and grow, never afraid to apply myself to a new problem.
Strong background in Unreal as well as jumping in and understanding proprietary tech.
Any opinions are my own and not that of any associated company unless explicitly stated.
