Android Game Development Education

The People Behind Your Game Development Journey

Meet the dedicated team of Android game development experts who bring real-world experience, fresh perspectives, and genuine passion for teaching to every learning program we create.

01

Diverse Professional Backgrounds

Our instructors come from varied paths - former indie developers who built successful mobile games, industry veterans from major gaming studios, and innovative educators who understand how people actually learn complex technical skills. This blend creates a learning environment where different perspectives meet practical application.

02

Real-World Development Experience

Every team member has shipped actual Android games that people play. We're not just teaching theory - we're sharing the lessons learned from debugging crash reports at 2 AM, optimizing performance for older devices, and navigating the Google Play Store submission process with all its quirks and requirements.

03

Continuous Learning Mindset

The Android development landscape changes rapidly, and we stay current not just because it's our job, but because we genuinely enjoy exploring new tools and techniques. Our team regularly experiments with emerging frameworks, attends developer conferences, and maintains personal projects to ensure our teaching reflects current best practices.

Meet Our Core Team

Zelda Northcott, Lead Game Architecture Instructor

Zelda Northcott

Lead Game Architecture Instructor

Zelda discovered her love for game development while studying computer science at university, where she spent more time creating small puzzle games than attending lectures. After working for three years at a mobile gaming studio in Kuala Lumpur, she realized her true calling was helping others navigate the same exciting but sometimes overwhelming journey into game development. She has a particular talent for explaining complex architectural concepts through hands-on examples that stick with students long after class ends.

Marigold Huxley, Mobile Development Specialist

Marigold Huxley

Mobile Development Specialist

Marigold brings eight years of experience from both large-scale development teams and solo indie projects. Her background includes releasing two successful puzzle games on Google Play that collectively have over 100,000 downloads. She joined our team in early 2024 because she wanted to share her hard-earned knowledge about mobile-specific challenges like battery optimization, varying screen sizes, and touch input handling. Students appreciate her practical approach to problem-solving and her collection of real debugging stories.

Our Approach to Game Development Education

We believe the best way to learn game development is by actually making games, not just studying them. Our programs emphasize building complete projects from initial concept through final publication, because that's where the real learning happens - in those moments when you're debugging a tricky physics problem or optimizing frame rates on different devices.
