Richard Coates

Engineering Director
BYTE

A fan of entertainment, and an even bigger fan of the spotlight, Richard has been entranced by computers’ capacity for entertaining us since playing on his family’s Atari ST. After trying his hand at standup comedy and music, Richard found that he was most adept at entertaining from behind the scenes, and behind a completely different type of keyboard. He now works at Byte London, where he works on combining traditional media with technology to create immersive experiences for clients such as Twitch and Netflix.
