The biographical context: Programmer, game designer, and co-founder of Mutiny in Halt and Catch Fire.
Fictional characters inherit the actor's measurement by default. Production wardrobe choices can shift the on-screen read by an inch in either direction, so on-screen-only references can disagree slightly.
How a fictional character even has a 'height'
Fictional characters don't have a Wikipedia infobox height in the usual sense. The number you see online is back-formed from screen references, source-material descriptions, and (most often) the actor who portrayed them.
Halt and Catch Fire is an American period drama television series created by Christopher Cantwell and Christopher C. Rogers.
The actor connection
If the character is screen-canon, the working number is the actor's actual height. Cameron's Mutiny arc captures early online community, multiplayer games, and the messy leap from software as product to software as place.
