Heya! My name is Tess, and I am a recovering corporate drone with over 13 years of professional software engineering experience in the Financial Tech industry. I am now a passionate game developer and game designer for both the table and screen.
In my current role, I work as a gameplay programmer, crafting experiences and collaborating directly with the lead game designer to build exciting gameplay for our players. In my previous career, I led a team of 13 as a manager, spearheaded several projects as the technical lead, and successfully completed countless tasks as an individual contributor.
As an avid queer black gamer, my dream is to create cool experiences that others like me can enjoy. In my spare time, I love to run TTRPGs (Cortex & FATE being my favorites), maintain a blog at wandering-table.com, and spend time with my adorable dog.
