Welcome to Engineer Plays 👋
Hi everyone — I’m Ziggy, and welcome to Engineer Plays.
By profession, I’m a structural engineer and builder. These days my main work is designing and building garden spaces, garden rooms, pergolas, and outdoor structures — turning underused gardens into calm, functional places. I’ve just completed a garden studio build for a local photographer here in Northampton, which is very much the kind of work I enjoy: practical, thoughtful, and well designed.
Gaming has always run alongside my professional life.
I’ve played Counter-Strike at a competitive level for many years, running my own servers and beeing adin on leading Baltic States CS1.4 and CS 1.6 servers, then spent a long time with Battlefield 3 and 4, running teams and organizing gameplay.
Strategy games have always drawn me in — I played 1100AD.com as part of a large, well-organized group where I helped train new members, played Command & Conquer™ Generals series, The Settlers series, and I spent years in World of Tanks with a Latvian team, including training roles and competitive matches.
Today, I’m mainly playing Battlefield 6, Cities: Skylines 2, and the Anno series.
This community exists for people who enjoy games with depth:
