Matt Benic
Software Engineer in Johannesburg, South Africa
I hail from Benoni in Sunny South Africa.
My focus is on game and other realtime software development.
My first credited title was I-Imagine's Chase: Hollywood Stunt Driver, for the original Xbox. Since then I have led development on numerous mobile titles as co-owner of Smallfry Mobile, worked in the simulation industry on military similations, and rejoined I-Imagine as programming lead on titles including the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 title Football Genius. As engineering lead and then Technical Director at Luma Arcade, I worked on the Windows Phone 7 launch title The Harvest and the platform-pushing Bladeslinger for iOS and Android.
I am currently Technical Director at Luma Interactive working on cutting-edge virtual sports titles with our partner Kiron Interactive.
In addition to my range of technical aptitudes, I contribute to any team I work on through well developed interpersonal and leadership skills.
