Summary
Drew Sikora is an experienced games-industry leader and executive producer with over two decades of involvement guiding developer communities, content strategy, and live events. Since 2006 he has led GameDev.net’s editorial and community efforts, shaping content, reviews, and volunteer programs while mentoring emerging developers through IGDA initiatives. A hands-on technologist and former founder, he pairs C/C++ and TorqueScript programming chops with product and event management skills honed at Game Institute and Blade Edge Software. Drew’s long tenure in community building is underscored by deep editorial output—dozens of articles, book chapters, and conference coverage—that make him as comfortable shaping industry conversation as shipping code. Off-stage he pursues stuntwork, martial arts, and high-speed motorsports, reflecting the same blend of precision and risk-taking he brings to projects.
