Amber is a software engineer with nine years of experience specializing in backend systems and a strong focus on Rust. She contributes to high-profile open-source projects like Bevy (a data-driven Rust game engine) and Feather (a Rust Minecraft server), where she's implemented core features from command parsing and inventory mechanics to time APIs and asset loading. Her work blends production-quality refactors with feature development—adding pause/resume timers, clarifying asset behavior, and improving interaction and crafting systems—demonstrating both attention to usability and low-level correctness. Based in the United States, she brings practical game and server engineering expertise and a knack for untangling complex parsing and state-management logic.
