Adam Schaefers
Founder Indie Gamedev at Land of Enchantment Games
Silver City, New Mexico, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorAdam Schaefers is a founder and indie game developer with nine years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud-native infrastructure and developer tooling. He transitioned from a deep DevOps background—designing cross-account AWS CI/CD, authoring a large Terraform module codebase, and running monitoring and self-hosted services—into creating games at Land of Enchantment Games. Comfortable across Linux internals, container platforms, and automation, Adam also co-founded NM Web Kings and has a track record of shipping reliable systems for web and game backends. An active open-source maintainer, he created niche tooling like a NixOS zfs-on-root installer and a minimalist Emacs config, and once sparked a lively Hacker News discussion by booting a distro with Emacs. Based in Silver City, NM, he blends entrepreneurial grit with deep systems craftsmanship and a taste for projects that are "worthy of the human."
