About J. Aaron Farr

Launching the first in a new generation of games: Retail Mage!https://retail-mage.comJam & Tea is building multiplayer games that play back with you, powered by our own ML/AI technology. I'm active in the game dev, GenAI and open source spaces, particularly in Los Angeles.As for my past:Former head of engineering at Singularity 6; previously engineering leader at Riot Games and sundry startups. Got my start due to open source contributions at the Apache Software Foundation, including a stint on the board of directors and (despite warnings) volunteering as treasurer. Sojourned in Greater China, still speak rusty Mandarin. Known by friends for my love of all things tabletop: board games, miniatures and RPGs. Most importantly, a happy husband and devoted father of two in Los Angeles.

    Head of Engineering for Singularity 6 from its inception. Initial architect for Palia, the cozy community-sim MMO. Core member of the studio leadership team. By the time of my departure, I had grown the engineering team at S6 to 40+ engineers, including architects, managers and directors. The game was nearing completion, with several successful close alpha and beta tests run during my tenure. I supported the studio through multiple rounds of investment and negotiations with partners, vendors and potential publishers.I loved my time at Singularity 6. The role exercised the breadth of my skills: from early days hands on technical work, to establishing an engineering department, to executive company leadership responsibilities.https://singularity6.comhttps://palia.com
