Hello. My name is David Byttow. I'm obsessed with art and technology, and I like to blend the two together.

I started my career when I dropped out of Purdue University at the age of 19 for a programming job at a gaming startup in Southern California. That company was called CodeFire, and it didn't last very long, but it helped me get my foot in the door enough to join a real game company. That company was called The Collective (formerly known as Double Helix Games and now known as Amazon Game Studios).

I've worked at a handful of other great companies too. Here's an brief list and some of the projects I'm most proud of having had a hand in:

• The Collective
  • Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb
  • Wrath Unleashed
  • Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
  • Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
  • Dirty Harry (canceled)
  • Silent Hill 5: Homecoming
• Bandai Namco of America
  • Afro Samurai
  • Warhammer 40K
• Google
  • AppEngine
  • Google Wave
  • Google Buzz
  • Google+
• Square
  • Starbucks x Square
  • Square Wallet
  • Square Cash
• Medium (twice, actually)
  • Medium.com
  • Medium iOS
• Secret
  • Secret App
  • Ping
• Bold
  • Bold.co
  • Bold.io
• Postmates
  • Postmates Apps
• Snapchat
  • Discover Shows
• Bridgewater Associates

Needless to say, I've learned a lot since I was an intrepid 19 year-old.

Today, I live in New York City. I keep myself busy with plenty of side projects and by playing piano. I also make a lot of little games and participate in game jams by dabbling in Godot, Unreal Engine 4, and Unity.
