Summary
Joe Gasparich is a versatile software engineer with nine years of experience building games, graphics engines, and web and TV streaming applications from Auckland, New Zealand. He blends a strong C++/OpenGL background—having written his own 3D renderer—with a decade of JavaScript ecosystem work (React, Vue, TypeScript, GraphQL) and cross-platform smart TV/console frameworks. At Accedo he progressed to senior roles that combined hands-on engineering, project leadership, and mentoring, and he now develops at Ludeon Studios where his game-dev roots align with studio needs. Comfortable across backend, middleware and frontend domains, he brings both low-level performance tuning and product-focused engineering to teams. Outside work he performs as a drummer in multiple bands, a creative outlet that informs his collaborative, high-energy approach to shipping software.
