Zoë Sams (Rockstar Games)

Tools Programmer

Zoë works at Rockstar Games as a Tools Programmer and in this role she helps many of the other teams at Rockstar to do their jobs more efficiently. Given the scale of their games, it’s a pretty integral role and Zoe has received numerous plaudits for her work, such as being included in Develop’s 30 Under 30.

Throughout this interview, we discuss a switch from musical theatre to programming and the importance of a family support network. I really hope you enjoy Zoë’s story!
