About Matthew Brand

I am creative and dedicated with a well-rounded set of polished abilities, and over 10 years of professional experience as a games engineer with leadership skills. I have over 20 years experience overall as a software developer.I am very passionate about video games and video game development, and I am committed to delivering high quality experiences that bring connectivity, fun and joy to players. I truly put my heart into what I create.I have been the lead developer on multiple game releases from prototype through release. Prototyping is extremely enjoyable for me, as I love the iterative back and forth connective process of working directly with a designer (or team of designers) and making a vision come to fruition.My experience is very varied, from being the team lead building games for elementary school kids to building independent games that were released to app stores. I am very versatile and I bring my diverse experience into all that I do.I love playing games as well. My current favorites are Marvel Snap, the original Dark Souls, Hollow Knight and Zelda: BOTW.
