Top SchoolAlex Roberts is a Principal software engineer with 18 years of experience blending frontend craftsmanship and full-stack engineering to build performant, user-focused web apps and games. Based in Oakland, he brings a graphic design background to engineering, enabling seamless collaboration with design teams and a strong eye for UX and visual fidelity. At companies like Eventbrite and Twitch he delivered high-performance interactive experiences—including a ThreeJS/WebGL engine that rendered venue maps with 80,000+ seats at 60FPS—and led frontend platforms and component frameworks. As founder of NixieCraft he prototypes SaaS and indie game tooling, shipping Unity, Godot, and C++ game projects as well as analytics and scheduling prototypes that bridge consumer and operator needs. He’s equally comfortable optimizing backend services for developer experience and performance, and he relishes tackling new native desktop and visual effects challenges in game development. Notably, his work sits at the intersection of design, realtime graphics, and pragmatic backend engineering, making him a strong technical partner for product-driven teams.
