Top SchoolDamian Connolly is a Senior Back-End Engineer with 10+ years building real-time multiplayer game systems and tooling, currently improving onboarding at Spendesk from his base in Bordeaux.

Damian has led small teams, shipped seven cross-platform game titles, and built production tooling for data, analytics and live operations, showing a rare full-stack fluency in games infrastructure and live services. A first-class MSc graduate who once achieved 60fps optimizations for Flash-era multiplayer, he balances pragmatic engineering with a tastes for clean architecture and experimentation.
