Mat Draper is a seasoned game development leader with over 8 years of formal experience and a career stretching back to the 1990s, currently serving as Development Director at Nomad Games. He has led programming teams and shipped major titles across consoles and PC—from early assembler-written texture mappers to multi-million-selling racing titles and recent AAA work like Warhammer 40,000 Kill Team.

He’s comfortable across C++, assembler, and modern game pipelines, and is known for optimizing CPU-specific code and building robust toolsets. Based in Warrington, he pairs Durham University computer science foundations with a rare continuity of studio leadership and technical ownership across multiple console generations.
