Amie Dansby is a Senior Software Engineer in Seattle with 11 years of experience building simulation and gaming systems across organizations from Microsoft and Marvel Studios to the CDC. She blends a strong academic foundation in mathematics and computer science from Harvard with hands-on work in gaming engineering, simulation software, and R&D for hardware refurbishment and diagnostics. Known on GitHub as a self-described "Hacker of Things," she brings a playful, maker mindset—also reflected in her long-running LEGO Unicorn Hacker project—that informs creative problem solving. Her background in simulating manufacturing and public-health modeling gives her a rare intersection of systems thinking, real-world engineering constraints, and product-focused delivery. At Microsoft she applies that mix to complex gaming infrastructure, shipping reliable features at scale while mentoring peers. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic innovator who turns imaginative hacks into production-grade solutions.
