Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Newport is a Principal Software Engineer with 14 years of experience designing high-performance 3D graphics and VR systems for games and enterprise applications. A longtime graphics obsessive who cut his teeth on the demo scene, he moved from console and PC rendering into pioneering VR—co-founding Osso VR and helping scale its engineering team through a $66M Series C. He combines deep C++ and C# expertise with curiosity about languages like F# and Rust, and contributes to notable open-source projects such as Microsoft’s Guidelines Support Library. Matthew has shipped rendering and optimization work across major titles and engines, led EA’s internal C++ STL and job library efforts, and drove GPU compute adoption on Frostbite. He is equally focused on developer culture and craft, having instituted hackathons, code clinics and newsletters to boost innovation and team skill. Based in Burnaby, BC, he now applies that blend of low-level systems knowledge and product-driven leadership at Respawn Entertainment.
