Bio
Matt Knowles
Dustin was hired on a Robomodo after one of the most impressive interviews the company has ever seen. After that Dustin has even exceeded those expectations. He was the constant presence on the networking team for both Ride and Shred. Ready to help in any way to deliver a solid project. Helping the UI with online screens, building major parts of our network code and being a rock for the sometimes brutal process of finaling as a network engineer. Great guy and an even better engineer.

Dustin is a truly skilled, capable employee and individual, and is someone I truly enjoyed working along side. During our time as Software Engineers at Robomodo, I saw him achieve so much in the Networking department. Despite the many difficult challenges inherent in coding for a networking system, Dustin's talent, eye for detail, and determined work ethic allowed him to succeed in what I feel is one of the most demanding areas of game development. Any company would be extremely fortunate to have him on their staff.
