Summary
🤩
RockstarDavid Roberts is a versatile software engineer based in Richmond, B.C., with over 15 years of experience across gaming, web, and embedded systems. Currently building UI and tools at Electronic Arts, he combines production-grade C++ game engine work with full-stack and web API design from past roles. As a core contributor to the open-source game Frogatto & Friends, he’s implemented analytics tools like a player heatmap visualizer, enhanced scripting and math libraries, and shipped gameplay and physics subsystems. He has a track record of turning user feedback into polished interfaces, having redesigned high-speed camera UIs and built remote-control web APIs at Kron Technologies. Comfortable moving between low-level engine code and high-level web integrations, he also brings startup chops from founding CTO work on a payments-integrated rental MVP. Colleagues would call him a creative technologist and hacker who enjoys documenting and shaping custom engines as much as shipping features.
