John French, Developer Evangelist, Arm
I am a Content Creator and Developer Evangelist in Arm's Performance Education team, where I help to show developers how to make more efficient mobile games using profiling and analysis tools. I started my career in the games industry as a composer and asset publisher, before moving into content creation after writing articles about my work on audio systems in Unity. Before joining Arm in 2025, I spent 5 years teaching game development basics on YouTube, where I specialized in making C# scripting easier for new developers. Passionate about challenging best practice with real research, I've brought my deep-dive approach to content creation to my work at Arm in an effort to make performance optimization easier, and more accessible, to developers of all skill levels.
