Bio
Jamie Walker
Ben is a pleasure to work with due to his deep understanding of development, his eye for quality, and his energy and professionalism. It's a real pleasure working with him and he has made a huge difference to Rocksteady and shaped our external development team, and all the hard-working partners we work with. He's also a very good human being!

I have had the great pleasure of working with Ben for the last couple of years on Sony’s ground breaking PlayStation VR Worlds title. Self-motivated, diligent & highly intelligent, Ben’s passion for-self-development is palpable & I have seen him come on leaps & bounds. He built excellent relations in managing a team & across the wider scope of the various other disciplines on the project, plus wasn’t shy of asking tough questions when required. Nice chap too, highly recommended!
