Senior🎓
Top SchoolArchie Buck is a Senior Gameplay Programmer with 10 years' experience crafting C++ systems for AAA and live-service games, currently contributing to Creative Assembly after leading gameplay development at Footium. His background spans engine-level Unreal work, UI and meta-game systems, and backend services (including Golang for online features), giving him a rare full-stack gameplay engineering perspective. He started in QA and rose through Sports Interactive where he shipped high-profile features for the Football Manager series and ported UI-heavy systems to console.
