About

Hi, I’m Rhys Wareham. I’m a passionate game developer with experience leading projects from concept through to release. I’ve worked with different programming languages like TypeScript, C#, and C++ and have a solid background in Unity and Unreal Engine development.

I enjoy collaborating with others and have led teams on several game projects, including co-op action board games and roguelikes. Outside of work, I enjoy Kung Fu, rock climbing, and I’m currently learning Japanese. I love taking on new challenges and am always excited about creating engaging games and interactive experiences.
