Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShannon Posniewski is a veteran technical director and game development executive with over 30 years of programming experience and two decades focused on MMORPGs and online games. He blends hands-on engineering—architecture, engine optimization, and systems implementation—with executive leadership, having founded Cold Iron Studios and led major programs at Cryptic that scaled teams and shipped multiple live services. Known as a pragmatic problem-solver, Shannon is often brought in to rescue struggling projects and has repeatedly retooled engines, UI stacks, and back-end services for consoles and live operations. Comfortable interfacing with engineers, designers, artists, publishers, and player communities, he delivered Aliens: Fireteam during the pandemic while steering a newly remote studio. His background in embedded systems and semiconductor graphics from earlier roles informs a low-level performance mindset that shows up in his work on world culling, multi-thread optimization, and device bring-up. Based in Troy, NY, he continues to combine executive direction with deep individual contribution to get complex game projects across the finish line.
