  • ​"Aardvark provided a key service to our studio when we were looking to make a pivotal hire as we transitioned to UE from a proprietary engine. Bringing onboard a Tech Director is no small task but Aardvark Swift quickly understood the specific requirements of the role and how we needed a Tech Director to both manage the Programming team and train them on UE. It was important we also found someone who had experience of handling a new IP from it's infancy through a full development cycle as we embarked on a new project. Aardvark proved to us they understood exactly was required and found us the ideal candidate and we look forward to working with them again."
