About Simon Wittber

Hello, I’m Simon Wittber. I have over 20 years experience in the software development industry.

I’ve worked as a generalist programmer, data analyst, backend engineer and team leader. I enjoy building tools to help others in my team to perform at their best.

I am an expert in C#, with a long history of experience in the Unity 3D engine. I have many skills used in 3D software development, including shader authoring, asset management, modelling and mathematics.

I am an expert in Python, with experience using it in data engineering problems and web service development.

I am also a SQL wizard, and have worked with very large datasets to generate reports for strategic decision makers, transform data for warehousing and filter/extract data from analytics systems.
