Matt Stentiford<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developer of tools, applications and interactive experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an early age I have had a passion for games, especially game development. Starting with simple games and game modding in high school during the late 90s, I soon progressed to writing my own engines in C++ and OpenGL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my final year of University I was fortunate to group up with a talented team of other students to develop a small game called Dust. This sci-fi, car racing, alien shooting, adventure game ended up winning first place in the Nullabor game development competition in 2007, and landed me my first full time position at Interzone Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days my focus is on utilizing engines such as Unity, which allow rapid development and ease of code and asset re-use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have worked professionally with teams of all sizes, from small teams of two or three, to international studios of 50+ developers spread over multiple continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have taken on many roles, including tools development, application design, UI and UX, working as a technical artist, shader development, game and application programming, web development, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My passion is in creating interactive experiences allowing people to feel a sense of wonder and enjoyment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
