Hey Sam! I think most people switch from app dev to the game industry and usually not the other way around. What made you want to get out of the video game industry?
I've built and managed Engineering teams at companies large and small. Currently @ Pusher growing a team who build the world's best realtime web messaging platform.
Nothing in particular. I had a great opportunity to move to London, and I liked the idea of working in an industry that wasn't quite so hit driven and revenue was a bit more predictable.

Ah, makes sense. What's the London tech scene like compared to where you were originally from (guessing the States)?
Here's an interesting article about the Ruby scene in Europe vs US that I read a year ago:
The European Ruby Revolution
Actually I'm from the rural Midlands of the UK, which has a lot more games companies than people realise 😄
Interesting article. Ruby is still very big for us and our customers.
