Hi there! My name is Jack Bulson, I am currently a Senior Gameplay Programmer at Red Rover Interactive. I have over 4 years professional experience working as a Gameplay Programmer, primarily in Unreal Engine with C++.

I enjoy creating fun gameplay mechanics, working collaboratively across disciplines and optimising experiences for both players and developers. In addition to gameplay, I also have a passion for UI, with a drive to create easily re-usable, performant and maintainable UI. This allows me to quickly develop and support UI that relies heavily on data from gameplay systems.

In addition, in my free time I have enjoyed exploring graphics programming, learning about the rendering pipeline as well as programming materials & shaders.

I most recently worked on Enginefall. I previously worked on Critter Cafe and DeathSprint 66. I graduated from my MComp in Games Engineering course from Newcastle University in 2024.

I also enjoy talking about my experience in the industry. In 2024, I went back to Newcastle University as a representative of Sumo Newcastle. I discussed what it’s like entering the games industry and the expectations of you as a Graduate on a day-to-day basis.
