Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Wilson is a C# software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building games and tooling, currently contributing to Rare Ltd after progressing from an internship. He blends full-stack desktop application work—notably GUI and ViewModel-driven improvements on the popular AssetRipper project—with practical game development delivered under his indie label, Hidden Detail. Comfortable refactoring legacy code, updating dependencies, and adding user-facing features like update checks and improved UIs, he favors pragmatic architecture and cleaner serialization. Based in Tamworth, UK, Ben pairs curiosity about how mechanics are made with a drive to explore different implementation approaches, and he now primarily hosts work on GitLab. His background includes real-world customer-facing roles that sharpen his communication and reliability under deadlines.
