Senior🎓
Top SchoolConan Reis is a seasoned principal engineer and founder with 11+ years of experience creating programming languages, game engines, and developer tooling for AAA titles and metaverse platforms. He founded Agog Labs and created SkookumScript, whose ideas and concurrency model directly influenced Epic’s Verse language and tooling for Unreal Editor for Fortnite. At Epic he designed core parts of Verse, built VM/frontend tooling and evangelized the tech across the ecosystem, and now runs a stealth R&D startup tackling ambitious, world-scale projects while consulting on UEFN and Unreal Engine C++ work. Known as a “mad computer scientist,” he blends deep systems and language design expertise with practical game-production experience and a knack for building live-edit workflows that empower large creative teams. Based in Victoria, BC, he’s a nerd dad and perpetual tinkerer who quietly shapes game- and simulation-scale engineering beneath the headlines.
