Top SchoolJohn Halloran is a co-founder and seasoned game engineer with over a decade of experience shipping hit mobile and feature-phone titles like Peggle, Bejeweled Twist, Zuma's Revenge and Bookworm.

Based in Greater Dublin, he pairs strong academic training in computer games technology and software engineering with a pragmatic fluency across languages, hardware constraints and rapidly evolving mobile platforms. An unspoken strength is his track record of adapting legacy mobile expertise into modern indie studio leadership, blending technical depth with product intuition.
