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
