Hey there!
I'm Gareth, aka. Spirited Snowcat
Thanks for taking an interest in my projects! If you’re new to my work, then here’s a little about myself:
I’m a snow leopard furry and software engineer in the game industry! I’m also a game preservation hobbyist in the Conquer Online community, a game I taught myself game server programming for.
During my college years, I made life-long friends with likeminded engineers and professors, and started multiple personal projects in live service games. The college hired me as a lead tutor and lab administrator after my second year, and I broke into the industry a year later with a paid internship working with industrial automation software.
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, I eventually worked my way up to the gates of Blizzard Entertainment: the company that originally inspired my commitment to game quality and polish.
Today, I work for an undisclosed game studio working in game microservices. At the end of the day, I couldn’t be happier with my current role and where it’s taking me, and I’m so glad I took the initiative back in high school. I lead each day with a desire to continue learning and brighten the lives of players around the world through software and entertainment.
