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.

In July 2024 I decided to accept a job offer from a tiny indie company. A large part of that decision was based on meeting David Hunt. Here's his post on our game.

Things I miss being Indie Indie vs. AAA:
Build machines and automated builds.
I was not grateful enough to all the build engineers I've worked with and I apologize.
