Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnders Elfgren is a veteran game programmer, designer and serial co-founder with 18+ years crafting tools, gameplay and engines across AAA and indie studios, from Just Cause 2 and GTA5 to award‑winning indie titles like Hammerting. He blends hands‑on engineering (C++, Lua, TypeScript) with creative leadership—shipping core gameplay systems, building debugging and tooling infrastructure, and mentoring teams as a lead programmer. Anders co-founded Warpzone and now DiscoGarage Games to focus on the kinds of games he loves to make, while recently contributing engine and backend math utilities to open-source gamedev tooling (notably zmath in zig-gamedev). Equally at home rewriting large codebases and teaching others, he pairs a formal CS background with practical studio experience and a quirky side habit of building dozens of solo spare-time prototypes.
