Derek J Penman Technical Designer
Who is Derek Penman?
An avid gamer since his youth, Derek spends much of his free time online as 'Bronzebreak', enjoying the strategic cooperative gameplay of online tactical shooter Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and survival sandbox ARK: Survival Evolved.
After pursuing LaSalle College Vancouver's Game Art and Design Diploma as a technical designer in Unreal Engine 4, Derek is excited to utilize his strong communication skills and analytical mind as he enters the gaming industry.
Derek also has strong interest in improving gameplay; thoroughly stress-testing the games of himself and his peers, he puts importance on a strong cohesive and immersive experience that doesn't break user flow by always considering how a player is going to interpret and analyze each moment.
A natural and professional communicator with an interest in discussion, Derek one day aspires to serve as a community manager under a 'Games as a Service' model, engaging with gamers worldwide to create the best experience in-game and beyond.
