Seamus Blackley

Seamus Blackley is an American physicist and game designer best known for inventing the Xbox, Microsoft's revolutionary gaming console. In recent years, he has also gained attention for his unique culinary experiments, including baking sourdough bread using revitalized yeast from ancient Egyptian pottery. His fascination with ancient baking techniques has led to his designation as a 'gastroegyptologist' by Smithsonian magazine. Despite his American upbringing, Blackley's Irish name, Seamus, was given to him as a nickname during his early career in game development.
