about me

Hey there! I’m Jacob (he/they), a game developer based in London (UK) and originally from Rome (Italy).

I’m a BSc Discrete Mathematics graduate from the University of Warwick and an MSc Computer Games Technology graduate from City, University of London.

I am working full-time as Engine Programmer for Larian. I also previously worked as Unreal Engine Programmer for ZA/UM and as Systems Programmer for Splash Damage on Transformers: Reactivate. This is the little corner of the internet where I collect my personal projects and occasionally write some blog posts on a variety of topics.

I also go by renard on the web, you (if you speak Italian) might know me for the Italian translations of UNDERTALE and DELTARUNE, more info here.

Apart from games, I spend my spare time doing photography and experimenting with mixed media. I also love playing Magic: The Gathering and bouldering.
