Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMarc Hanson is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 25 years of experience shipping games, platforms, and blockchain systems across PC, console, mobile, social, and web3. He has repeatedly scaled teams from small startups to dozens of engineers, led high-profile launches (Age of Empires 3, Halo Wars, CastleVille, Stranger Things games) and built distributed remote orgs long before it was mainstream. Comfortable toggling between hands-on engineering and organizational strategy, Marc has a knack for rooting out systemic issues—technical, process, or people—that block velocity and quality. He helped stabilize and launch a Layer 1 EVM blockchain at Shardeum by tuning consensus and node parameters, and now co-runs a bootstrapped, AI-forward studio focused on solving practical problems rather than chasing buzzwords. Mentorship is a core part of his legacy: many engineers he hired and coached have become VPs and CTOs. Based in Columbus, he combines deep product delivery experience with a pragmatic, systems-level view of engineering organizations.
