Bio
James Mayo
Brandon is an excellent developer and has an almost encyclopedic ("wikipedic" nowadays?) knowledge of games. This makes him invaluable in cross-functional-group discussions in our industry where assessments about risk, time, budget, and quality help to define the team's priorities. He is always working on improving his skillset and actively seeks to take on new areas in the development realm. Brandon takes on large areas of responsibility (he proactively owned AI, audio, engine management, build management, and IO systems, among others) for Serellan's and works hard to maintain high levels of quality.
Christian Allen
Brandon is a driven and experienced engineer, with a taste for excellence. He was a valuable member of our team and worked long hours to bring our game to fruition. Brandon would be a valuable member of any team.
