Bio
David McAnerin
I was lucky enough to work with Andy for most of our time together at Capcom. He is one of the strongest, most versatile, and most professional SEs I have ever met in my time in the industry. Andy was always willing to take on any challenge, for example: supporting missions, narrative, and core gameplay, updating a legacy save/load system for DLC updates, and ramping up on a new engine first to make the transition easier for all other staff. To go with his flexibility his professionalism is extremely impressive - through all twists and turns, through difficult time and crunch, Andy kept a positive can-do attitude that helped rally the team behind him. I would be more than happy to work with Andy again in the future.
