Bio
Louis Studdert
I worked with Daniel when he was part of our QA team at Toys for Bob during the development of Crash Bandicoot 4. As a lifelong Crash fan, Daniel was a great resource because he brought with him both an authentic knowledgebase that the design team would be dumb not to listen to, as well as a sense of personal pride in the product we were making. This sense of pride let Daniel push the entire team in the pursuit of delivering a great game by highlighting key details, bugs, and areas for improvement. And he did this while also being a pleasure to work with. His eye for detail and love of videogames would make Daniel a great member of a team.

Daniel has one of the most important qualities I look for in any coworker: passion. He is passionate about delivering games at their highest possible quality, and his attention to detail was greatly appreciated on Crash Bandicoot 4. Daniel brings his authentic self to the workplace, and I admire and rejoice in that, because it helped his enthusiasm for the franchise shine through. When he joined the team, he really jumped right into the thick of it and was quick to pick things up and start contributing. I really enjoyed working with him, and think he'd be an asset to any team.
