Bio
David McLeod
David Little has made my life easier! I have known Dave as a colleague for the past 5 years. Over the past 12 months I have worked directly with him in the implementation of my user interface designs and animations. Dave's attention to detail and valuable feedback in terms of design, functionality and technical detail ensure assets always look and function as expected. Our in game art and workflow have benefited greatly from his performance testing and the various tools he has created such as asset viewers and particle emitters. I would recommend David to anyone looking for a conscientious, knowledgable game developer who works well with artists.

We brought David on to help us finish a large Flash game. To my knowledge he didn't have any hardcore Flash experience at the time, but what I needed was a Flash optimizer, so in a week or so that's what he became. David is exactly the sort of programmer who can do whatever you need, every time. He is far more capable than his good on-paper resume would suggest. Luckily I knew him from Krome, otherwise our project would have floundered, and since we brought him in he made himself so valuable that his three month contract has been extended time and again, and we are eager to work with him in the future.
