Sam Pattuzzi
Sam wrote his first game at 14, hacking together little games in Macromedia Flash during his summer holidays. Not long after, he taught himself C++ followed by Python and web programming. He was hooked.
In 2010 he went to study Computer Science at the University of Cambridge and he’s been in Cambridge ever since. That is where he caught the entrepreneurial bug and realised he wouldn’t want a traditional job for long. So after a few years working in various jobs to get experience, he quit and ed burning through his savings looking for his calling.
At the end of 2015, he was coaching some friends to improve their programming skills. Realising how much he loved it, he ed creating online courses and reached out to Ben for help. Fast forward and he’s part of the GameDev.tv gang and gets to hang out with our awesome community!
