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 an 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 lil corner of the internet where I will 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.

In my spare time I like to experiment with photography and mixed media; while I still need to properly curate and collect my photos, you can see some of them on my Instagram.

Finally, you can reach me via e-mail at jacob.arbib@gmail.com and you can find a (hopefully) up-to-date CV by clicking the download link below. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you want info about any obscure project I have done in the past that is not posted here.
