About Me

Hi there, I'm Ben and I'm currently a Principal Game Producer for BULKHEAD, working on Wardogs: King of the Hill. I'm a BSc Hons in Game Development graduate based in Hampshire, UK.

​

I've been in the games industry in some capacity for over a decade now and am looking for a role to push myself into new professional challenges.

 

I enjoy exploring odd ideas and approaching problems with a cool head and eyes on success. When I'm not making or playing games, I can be found hiking with my partner and Labrador, turning out some mean ooni-baked pizzas or rolling dice in the 41st Millennium.

 

You can find both my commercial and personal game projects on the pages above.

​

 

Most of my time working in game dev as been in a production capacity, helping deliver products on budget, on brand and on time. At Firefly Studios I handled a complex rebuild of their entire production department, including a number of software migrations. At BULKHEAD now, I spend most of my time managing and maintaining our production pipelines and mentoring our other producers. I also work closely with out Production Director to handle long term roadmapping and budgeting.

 

Before moving into the dev sphere I worked in Tech & Video game PR for Lick PR, where we collaborated with clients such as Rebellion, Dovetail Games and Digital Extremes on activations of upcoming products.

 

Additionally, I have in excess of 4 years experience as a freelance games journalist, having written for the likes of Push Square, Playboy, Game Revolution, and Official PlayStation Magazine.

 

Much of my regular journalism work consisted of conducting interviews with developers, attending preview and launch events as an outlet representative and covering industry events like E3 and Gamescom.

Work History

Education

I studied Game Development at The University of East London and graduated with a First Class Honours in June 2019. The course saw me produce many playable prototypes in Unity using C# both alone and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

 

Now, in my spare time I try to regularly prototype ideas and participate in game jams using Unity, but have also started to teach myself C++/Blueprints for Unreal Engine 4 to foster further familiarity with a different engine.

Interests

I have a keen interest in specialty coffee, mechanical keyboards and outdoor trail hiking with my partner and our nutty Labrador, Rook. After a day at work I like to wind down by building and painting miniatures, like Warhammer or hanging out with friends/colleagues on Discord playing games like the ones below.
