Background

About Scott Latham

For 20 years my focus has been on programming and games development. My ability to problem solve has been a great asset when working on various projects over the years. I can efficiently work independently, confidently using my initiative to ensure all tasks are completed accurately and according to the design, as well as being to a high standard before deadlines. I am a good team member who contributes towards discussions and communicates well with others, including those in other roles. I listen carefully to designers and producers when looking at how my contributions can maximise the positive impact on the game and I am open to receiving suggestions from other programmers when determining the best technical solution to a problem. I work well under pressure and I can successfully manage multiple tasks simultaneously. I passionately commit 100% effort to a project from start to finish and my goal isn’t to simply complete the tasks, but to ensure the project as a whole is successful.During the start of my career as a videogames programmer, my focus was on gameplay but my understanding of other core elements such as AI, graphics and physics, allowed me to be flexible with the types of components I worked on. After a while, I started to gravitate towards UI programming and turning this into my specialism rather than being a generalist programmer. My time at Ubisoft Toronto has been really impactful on my career development, having received multiple title changes and a significant promotion.I am very adaptable and have always been quick to develop new skills. I am eager to expand my knowledge and further develop existing skills by seeking new challenges and embracing the opportunity to work on types of tasks which I may not have necessarily done in the past.
