Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Evans is a pragmatic C++ software engineer based in London with 15 years of experience building and shipping native Linux, UNIX, macOS and Android software for games and media tooling. He excels in test-driven development, continuous integration and automated system testing to deliver robust, maintainable code across complex platforms from AAA titles to compositing systems. At Feral and Foundry he debugged cross-platform graphics and input subsystems, tackled shader translation and driver issues, and enabled advanced device support such as force feedback and USB wheels on macOS. He contributes to open-source projects like OpenRW, where he added MP3 audio support and improved engine object models and UI—showing a practical blend of systems-level engineering and game engine craftsmanship. Known for preferring safer modern practices (hence the wry “C++ considered harmful” note), he brings a thoughtful, quality-first approach to performance-sensitive C++ ecosystems.
