Senior🎓
Top SchoolDylan Falconer is a Melbourne-based director and full-stack developer with 12 years of experience building web and game projects using C, React, TypeScript, Odin and game engines like Unity. He co-founded indie studios and led hands-on engineering—shipping a Google Play game, building booking and e-commerce systems for a creative studio, and running a backend-integrated Discord bot that surfaces GitHub activity. Comfortable moving between low-level C/OpenGL prototypes and modern React/Next.js frontends, he also architects integrations with APIs such as Google Calendar and GitHub. As a leader he combines team mentorship and code review practices with pragmatic infrastructure setup, having configured studio hardware and production services end-to-end. His GitHub and YouTube channels reveal a maker mindset: frequent prototypes, tooling work, and a belief that “life without industry is guilt,” driving steady contribution to open projects.
