Oliver Broughton
Software Engineer
I am a software engineer and games developer with over 4 years experience in the mobile games industry.
I generally take a 'breath first' approach to technology and thrive on solving technical problems regardless of language or tech stack. This approach has allowed me to work with some amazing people on projects ranging from mobile AR to developing real-time game microservices.
I am currently looking to make an impact on meaningful products beyond the games industry with a focus on developing scalable microservices and distributed systems.
