Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Deleon is a game developer, educator, and founder with over two decades of hands-on experience helping people worldwide learn to make games. As founder of HomeTeam GameDev (formerly Gamkedo Club) he organizes sustained, low-commitment collaborative projects that let hobbyists and early-career creators contribute to larger-scale games while cross-training in new roles. He’s written educational ebooks, produced video courses, and mentored practice teams that have reached more than 350,000 learners, pairing personalized coaching with practical project-based learning. His background spans indie releases, publisher-funded mobile hits, and technical roles at EA, plus research and teaching roles at Georgia Tech and Northeastern that blend cognition, HCI, and interactive systems. Comfortable as a lone developer or as a community builder, he focuses on creating opportunities for peer learning and iterative prototyping rather than chasing short-term jams. Based in Greater Boston, he combines academic rigor and industry pragmatism to coach the next generation of game makers.
