Benjamin Goldstein
Lead Engine Programmer
Ben grew up in the great white north where he spent a lot of time indoors trying to get out of the cold.
This afforded him many late nights messing about with various computer systems but it wasn’t until he spent a couple of years teaching software to an aging work force that he decided he’d better buck up. So he cut off the pony tail, went back to school in Montreal and got himself a CS degree with a specialization in software systems.
After a brief internship and the prospect of writing test plans for the foreseeable future, his love of graphics and media led him to Chicago where he went to grad school and joined a research lab that focused on virtual reality. He completed his master's there and then got a job offer in MillValley that he couldn’t refuse.
After a short stint working on a graphics engine for the research domain he joined the games industry and hasn’t looked back since.
