Did Iwata used to be a developer at Nintendo?

Uh, Yeah! He was a programming genius who worked on games like Earthbound!
(He even programmed a Tennis game on a calculator in College, if that isn't impressive then I don't know what is XD)

He saved EarthBound from development hell, and gave Pokemon Gold and Silver enough space to squeeze in Kanto through compression.
