Kieran D'Archambaud
Studio Technical Director and Co-Founder of Expression Games
A games industry veteran with over twenty years experience, Kieran has held programming roles including technical director and lead game programmer in companies such as Rare, Evolution Studios, Fabrik and Expression Games. In 2018 he formed Koding Limited under which he offered his programming and consultancy services. He is currently the Studio Technical Director and a Co-Founder of Expression Games.
Kieran spent his early career specialising in artificial intelligence for third person, first person and racing games. In 2012 he was invited to make a presentation at the Vienna Game AI conference for his work on the AI in Motorstorm: Apocalypse where the AI had to deal with highly dynamic racing environments.
During his time at Evolution Studios, he led the game programming team for both Motorstorm: Apocalypse and Driveclub. After Evolution Studios, he held the position of studio technical director at Fabrik Games where he built a team and technology to successfully launch two multi-platform games.
Since starting Koding Limited, he took on a diverse set of work. From technical direction and programming to conducting technical due diligence reports for publishers wanting additional peace of mind for games they were considering signing.
After assisting with the successful acquisition of Fabrik Games into the Firesprite Group and Sony, Kieran, along with his co-founders, formed Expression Games. Initially Expression Games was a co-developer on Hell Let Loose, supporting that game in live service. More recently Expression Games has built Hell Let Loose: Vietnam. Expression Games is also working on other internal and external projects. You can read more about Expression here: expressiongames.com
