From approximately 10 FPS to a stable 60
Led architectural and performance work across rendering, animation, job systems and multicore execution. This helped turn a console game missing its fundamental performance target into a product capable of shipping at a stable 60 FPS.
A cross-studio football title was missing its fundamental frame-rate target on both console platforms. The visible symptom was performance. The real issue sat across rendering, animation, job dispatch and multicore execution.
We treated performance as an architecture problem, not an optimization sprint. We restructured how work was decomposed across cores, how the animation and rendering pipelines produced frames, and where the true costs lived.
The project shipped at a stable 60 FPS. The lesson generalized: on real-time systems, performance is the visible surface of design decisions taken long before the profiler is opened.
Performance is architecture made visible.
