Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Meaney is a game-focused systems designer and software engineer with 11 years of experience, currently shaping gameplay systems at Rockstar North in Edinburgh. He moved up from Associate Designer: Systems to Designer: Systems, bringing a pragmatic engineering background gained across Ruby on Rails, Unity/C#, Python, and CI/CD tooling. His career blends game programming and backend operations—rewriting inventory systems with unit tests, automating mission-critical business processes, and improving build pipelines—so he approaches design with an engineer’s insistence on testability and maintainability. Comfortable in Agile teams, he has a track record of refactoring legacy code to SOLID principles and shipping reliable features under tight deadlines. A BSc (Hons) Computing graduate, he combines creative game design instincts with production-grade software practices that reduce bugs and speed iteration.
