American McGee is an American video game developer, director, and programmer born in Dallas on December 13, 1972.

His credited occupations span several distinct roles within the games industry. He has worked as a programmer, a video game developer, a video game director, and a computer scientist, meaning his involvement in game production has covered both technical and directorial dimensions rather than being confined to a single function.

That combination of occupations — computer scientist, programmer, developer, and director — reflects a career that has moved across different layers of how games are made. The technical side of his work, represented by programming and computer science, sits alongside the broader responsibilities that come with development and direction, though the specifics of any individual projects or titles fall outside what the available record confirms.

The Library of Congress formally records him under the authorized label "McGee, American, 1972-", a designation that registers both his unusual given name and his standing as a documented figure in the field. His occupations as a video game developer and director, alongside his grounding in programming and computer science, represent the consistent thread running through his work in the games industry.
