Mark Gregory

Quest Designer @ Awe Interactive

“I had the pleasure of working with Rhys for seven months at Awe Interactive, particularly during the final stages of several key

milestones. We collaborated closely on refining dialogue audio and crafting dynamic soundscapes for complex, high-density

environments.

Rhys consistently demonstrated strong technical skills and a meticulous approach to his work. He was deeply invested in maintaining

the integrity of the entire audio pipeline and wasn’t afraid to offer thoughtful, constructive feedback when he saw opportunities for

improvement. His commitment to quality and collaborative spirit made him a valuable asset to the team.”

Joe Collinson

Audio Designer @ Awe Interactive

“I worked with Rhys closely at Awe. He’s extremely hardworking, organised, and efficient in his work.  He’s a very clear communicator,

making sure audio was implemented exactly as intended, and has a fantastic eye for detail. 

Rhys designed and fully documented tools which made several tasks easier and solved problems for us. He would be an asset to any

company who takes him on.”

Florina Panaite

Gameplay Programmer @ Awe Interactive

“Rhys was operating at a much higher level even when he was a junior programmer. He's grown rapidly and was able to handle 

seriously complex tasks. He was able to take on tasks which required a lot of research, then communicate the findings and give a

solution.

He's someone I'd call a brainiac because of his 3D maths skills. He's sharp, reliable, and honestly just a great person to work with. Any

team would be lucky to have him.”

David Jones

Game Director @ Awe Interactive

“Rhys is a good programmer and someone we've trusted with a lot of responsibility. 

We've trusted Rhys with most of our audio pipeline and he's kept it in good stead for every milestone we've delivered. He's generated

lots of custom tools and written reams of code to support it.

He's also been involved in lots of minor tooling and game system programming. All of which has been invaluable. 

Rhys is a passionate programmer, and a nice guy to work with. I recommend him to any such role.”

Peter Malham

Lead Producter @ Awe Interactive

“Can't recommend Rhys enough for all your audio and gameplay programming, incredibly organised and hardworking! Asset for any

company”
