Summary
Ashley Alicea is a senior technical program manager at Unity with seven years of product and developer advocacy experience, now leading production verification and productization efforts after driving DOTS, physics, and codeless gameplay initiatives. An artist-turned-developer, she combines creative empathy with systems thinking to make the Unity editor more approachable for diverse, low-code creators. Prior to product roles she spent a decade building global creator programs and events—scaling Unity’s evangelism reach by 270% and coordinating major community efforts like Global Game Jam and IndieCade. She’s experienced in event logistics, developer education, and bilingual community building, and is passionate about removing technical barriers so under-resourced creators can ship games. An L.A.-based leader, she pairs hands-on product stewardship with a rare background in both on-stage technical evangelism and large-scale community operations.
