ROB

ROBOT

Rob is the creative brains of the team. He ensures that all of our products have that special something about them which singles them out from the rest. He won't stop working on an idea until he gets that 'genius moment' that will make the product go from 'ordinary' to 'special'. It doesn't matter what size of project he is working on, from a small logo to a multi functional software application, if the genius moment hasn't arrived, Rob won't stop searching for it.

JOB

ROBOT

Every company needs someone like Job. Not afraid to get stuck in and get his hands dirty, he will do the things that other people have left until last and will go places that other robots fear to tread. So yes, he does clean out the bathroom, but someone has to do it don't they? You can rely on Job to make sure that the company is working at its peak efficiency so that the products we deliver are on time, to budget and exactly as required.

BOB

ROBOT

Bob gets things done, plain and simple. He makes sure the i's have dots, the t's are crossed and as for lower case j's... well, you get the idea. Creative genius is one thing, but Bob won't let the creative team run away with the project and ensures that it is grounded in reality, is logical and meets all of the customer expectations and requirements.

JACK BINGHAM

2D GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Jack's background is in graphic design, so that's what we get him to do.

Despite being born more recently than some of the associates of Incredible Box, he has amassed large quantities of hair wax and a strong understanding of aesthetics, graphic design and user functionality.

With his love of video games, Jack has created artwork for the Xbox 360 community game network. If he's not playing Call of Duty 4, you'll find him hard at work on his precious Mac or whipping up a tasty Spag Bol.

PAUL GRIMSTER

.NET, SQL PROGRAMMER

YOB

ROBOT

What can be said about Yob that he wouldn't tell you himself? He loves to talk to everyone and anyone so it's a good job that he has a nice voice. Clients like to be kept informed about the status of ongoing projects, and Yob does that with pleasure. Clients will be left in no doubt about the progress that has been made throughout the life cycle of any project work.

HOWARD PARFITT

SYSTEMS ANALYSIS

Howard helps us think before we build. With a wealth of hardware and software development experience, he understands how to create solutions that truly think outside the box.

AASIF CHAUDRY

SOUND DESIGNER, MUSIC COMPOSER

Aasif is a sound designer and music composer, specialising in original composition for games and visual media. He studied at the University of Hertfordshire and has produced loads of original music for Incredible Box and has also worked on open-source PC and XLBA games.

He has been an avid gamer from an early age thanks to his brother’s early fascination with games having rubbed off on him. This has led to an healthy (his family will argue otherwise) interest in computer games and especially the use of sound and music. When not hunkered down in front of his computer, Aasif can be found running around on paintball fields where he often insists that he is in actual fact, the real Master Chief.
