Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Hansell is a Principal Engineer based in London with nearly a decade of experience building game engines, tools and large-scale multiplayer platforms, primarily in C++ but fluent across Python, TypeScript and C#. He combines deep Unreal Engine expertise with systems-level work—Bazel builds, CI automation, cloud logging and performance tuning—to ship cross-platform products including an iOS port of a live Metaverse platform that ran 2,500 concurrent players. At Improbable he led research and solutions engineering for distributed simulation, motion-capture streaming and web interactivity, translating experimental ideas into production demos and client-facing integrations. A former co-founder of an indie studio, he has end-to-end experience from low-level server infrastructure and matchmaking to gameplay code and client optimization. He’s comfortable as a lone technical owner on high-impact projects and as the bridge between engineers and clients, and he brings an aerospace-trained analytical mindset to software problems.
