Simon Ashby is a Head of Product - Co-Founder at Audiokinetic. He possess expertise in game development, video games, sound design, sound, xbox 360 and 30 more skills. He is proficient in English. Colleagues describe him as "Simon was my co-supervisor when I started at Audiokinetic as a software developer. I also had the opportunity to work more closely with him later as a product expert. He shares everything he knows about any topic of interest and how he gets there, encourages me to explore, asks constructive questions, always with that elegant smile. Being an extremely busy leader, he may have to prioritize or needs to validate his answers at the moment, but always gets back to me eventually. As the chief designer of the product, he has both bold vision and fatherly care. He strikes an incredible balance between catering to user demands and maintaining a healthy internal development culture. More than once he told me when seeing me overworking: “Remember: What we are doing is a long run, not sprinting." and "During my 4 months internship at Audiokinetic, I have been supervised by Simon Ashby. Even though they didn’t use to hiring sound designer interns, Simon was a very good teacher. Each time I asked a question, he answered me straight away. He put me at ease which created a relaxed but creative ambience. I also appreciated that my work has been valued with encouragements. He has deployed efforts to make my tasks as varied as possible (sound design, mixing, implementation, documentation, QA, etc.). I'm looking forward to work with Simon in a near future!"
