Hi! I'm Ryan. My wife and I founded Prime8 Entertainment.
I started my career in QA and worked my way into design before pivoting to engineering.
If you're thinking about following me, probably follow @prime8ent.bsky.social too since that's where most of my energies are focused these days.

We also use it in Ghost Hunter Simulator, in case you wanted a hint at what kind of game it is. XD
