Senior🎓
Top SchoolTerence Burns is a technical director, co-owner and seasoned game programmer with 12 years of experience leading engineering teams and shipping commercial titles from indie studios to AAA houses. Based in Stevenage, he currently runs Tanglewood Games while also operating Trifolium Digital, blending hands-on coding with strategic studio leadership for a team of 30+. His background includes senior engineering roles at Epic Games, Ubisoft/Reflections, Studio Gobo and other studios, giving him deep expertise in engine-level systems, platform tools and gameplay programming. Comfortable switching between ownership responsibilities and low-level problem solving, he’s as likely to mentor a team as to dive into optimization or tools development.
