Noah Spann

I'm an Austin, TX–based gameplay programmer currently working at Halfbrick. I’m passionate about building fun experiences that bring players together.

Over the past four years, I've contributed to multiple projects across Unity and Unreal Engine, implementing gameplay features, building systems, and collaborating closely with designers, artists, and engineers. My background in game design allows me to translate design intent into robust, scalable gameplay code while maintaining a strong focus on system architecture, iteration speed, and player experience.

I care deeply about how players learn and master mechanics. When building gameplay systems, I focus on clarity, agency, and progression which ensures mechanics teach themselves through play rather than relying on heavy-handed instruction. This mindset helps me create systems that feel intuitive and rewarding.

I'm driven by opportunities where I can own gameplay systems, collaborate across disciplines, and learn from the people around me.
