Jordan Montu is a Game Designer with 11 years of hands-on software and systems experience, currently shaping player experiences at Rockstar Games from Guelph, Ontario. He brings full-stack and backend expertise to game development, with notable open-source contributions to major SS13 forks (Yogstation, VGStation, TGStation, Citadel) where he optimized backend systems, refactored legacy globals, and added profiling and performance tooling. Comfortable crossing into DevOps and tooling, he has improved build scripts, API client integrations (Octokit.NET), and database query efficiency—skills that help bridge design intent and technical execution. Jordan’s work shows an uncommon blend of player-facing feature design and low-level system architecture, evidenced by vehicle responsiveness tweaks, round-report tooling, and line-by-line profilers. Colleagues rely on him to make sprawling, older codebases cleaner and faster while shipping meaningful gameplay improvements.
