Senior🎓
Top SchoolJames Rankin is a software engineer in Greater Boston with 11 years of experience building interactive experiences grounded in a B.A. in Game and Interactive Media Design from Becker College. He has shipped game features and systems—AI FSMs, character controllers, and retention-focused updates—for multiple MassDiGI projects and now applies that product-minded engineering at Symbotic. Comfortable across platforms (PC, macOS, Android, iOS), he blends rapid prototyping discipline with long-term maintainability to reduce technical debt and empower designers. Beyond code, James brings a visual storyteller’s eye from cinematography work and a musician’s ear—practicing bass and music theory—which informs his attention to rhythm and user experience in interactive products.
