Three words to describe DTG

Engaging, immersive, creative

Hey! I'm Andy

Before joining Dovetail, I worked on a wide variety of projects and systems, which gave me a solid grounding in web development, data architecture, and UX. I’ve always loved being creative and problem-solving, and web development has been a perfect way to combine both!

If you’d told 8-year-old me that I’d grow up to work for a game developer, I probably would have imploded with excitement. So when the opportunity came up to join DTG, I didn’t hesitate for a second. It meant stepping into an industry I’ve dreamed about for most of my life, and from day one I was made to feel incredibly welcome. I’m lucky to work alongside so many passionate, like-minded people, and that enthusiasm is something I get to experience every day.

Gaming has been the driving force behind about 90% of the decisions I’ve made in life. Through it, I’ve made lifelong friends, picked up skills and knowledge I never expected, and built up countless fond memories over the years. Some of my all-time favourite games include Halo 3, most mainline Pokémon games, Red Dead Redemption 2, Skate 3, GTA: Vice City, and RuneScape.

When I’m not working or gaming, I somehow still manage to juggle about a billion different hobbies. You’ll usually find me either reading, building LEGO, playing guitar, playing Magic: The Gathering (or more recently playing chess - both of which I'm rubbish at!), or spending time with my family. I’ve also always had a deep love for TV, film, and live music.
