Short Bio:
Sean Shypula grew up in Miami, FL and from a young age was fascinated with computers and all things electronic. In an age before the widespread use of the internet, he managed to teach himself how to write simple programs on his Commodore 64 based upon a few CS books found in a public library, bits of source code found in the back pages of Byte magazine, and a lot of trial and error. He followed this passion into college earning a degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida in 2003. After college he decided to pursue his true goal of one day being able to make video games for a living, and in 2006 earned a Master’s degree in Computer Science from DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Washington. Sean was quickly hired by Bungie Studios, where he has happily been building the studio’s tools and infrastructure ever since. Sean’s credits include Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach, and the soon-to-be-released Destiny, which will be the first of a long series of games and the first new franchise for the studio since gaining their independence from Microsoft in 2007.
