Technical Director

Alexander Bailey

Hey! I’m Alex but there are always enough Alex’s, so most people call me Bailey. I love helping our amazing engineers and technical teams build amazing things. I’m passionate about finding ways to allow creativity to flow and working in a way that enables talent to bring their best selves to work every day. I’ve wanted to make games ever since I can remember, from my early years playing point and click adventures, through the Counter-Strike phase to my first role in the industry, working on a Championship Manager. I’m so happy to be working at Fuse making the kinds of things I hope will delight players to the same degree.
