Who?Chris is an Engine programmer working in core systems on CRYENGINE for Crytek🗗 in Frankfurt Am Main, Germany. He is graduate of Teesside, Hull and Abderdeen Universities, with a
strong and focused love of coding in C/C++, while experimenting with technology and hardware. WorkChris has worked over the years as an opthalmic assistant, digital imaging assistant in photography equipment sales, a loss prevention officer, in outdoor equipment sales and repairs (camping) and electronics repairs (laptop, PC and game console hardware and software repairs). ComputingChris has had a very keen interest in computing and gaming since he was very young, when the family acquired an MSX1 home computer, and moved through an Atari ST and numerous IBM compatible Windows/Linux PCs, for all of which he has programmed small apps and games. He also owned a NES, Gameboy, SNES, Dreamcast, PSOne, XBOX, XBOX 360, XBOX One and Series X - most of these he has repaired, upgraded, probed and poked these machines to find out all he can about them, from a desire to work on them at a systems level. |
