Top SchoolGavin Pugh is a seasoned director of technology and lead programmer with over a decade of experience shipping high-profile console and live-service titles, currently directing engine and game systems at Infinity Ward for the Call of Duty franchise. A true generalist, he spans low-level engine and core libraries through gameplay systems, graphics effects, tools and pipeline work across generations from PS2 to PS5 and Xbox Series.

Known as a tenacious problem-solver, he routinely tackles performance, memory and live-service stability challenges while still enjoying deep technical contributions. His background includes transferring systems across franchises (e.g., Create-A-Skater to Create-A-Rocker) and building data-driven DLC and store systems, illustrating a rare blend of creative systems thinking and production-focused engineering.
