King

Job Title

Technical Artist

At SWCHS Sixth Form, Ellie took Maths, Further Maths, Computing, Physics and Economics. She then studied Manufacturing Engineering at Cambridge University. She became a Graduate Software Engineer at Renishaw, then took a punt on an internship in the games industry. She was a Technical Artist intern at King (makers of Candy Crush), then hired full-time as a Graduate Technical Artist. Technical Art is the intersection of art and code; Ellie makes tools to automate boring tasks, create shaders and effects for the game, organise work so it makes sense, and optimise the game so it runs better. King is a great place to work, and Ellie is very happy she ended up there!
