Prior to GGJ I was a Systems Engineer at Oculus helping ship everything between Rift and Quest 2.

I am or have been a Founding Board Member for Seattle Indies, the Chapter lead for IGDA Seattle, NW-US Regional Coordinator for IGDA, Regional Organizer and Executive Committee Member for Global Game Jam and the Pacific NW Alumni Coordinator for IndieCade.
