Episode 260: Raymond Davidson, Day One at Stern

Raymond Davidson, the world's #1 IFPA-ranked pinball player, has been hired as a Software Support Engineer at Stern Pinball, effective May 18, 2020. After Tim Sexton approached him years earlier and persistent recruitment, Davidson relocated from Everett, Washington to Chicago during the COVID-19 pandemic. He will work on code, light shows, and features under lead designers like Sexton, and discussed his design philosophy favoring layered, accessible rule depth inspired by games like Simpsons Pinball Party and Jurassic Park.
