Summary
🤩
RockstarMike Geig is a Principal Advocate at Unity Technologies with 12 years of hands-on experience in game development and developer relations, focused on helping teams modernize projects using Unity's DOTS and ECS frameworks. He has progressed through technical, marketing, and leadership roles at Unity—from Screencaster and Trainer to Senior Manager and now Principal Advocate—bringing deep institutional knowledge of the platform. Mike pairs practical engineering skills (seen in contributions updating the AngryBots_ECS repo) with public-facing work: technical talks, books, podcasts, and guest articles that translate complex systems for diverse audiences. He also teaches and has run his own small business, showing a blend of pedagogy, entrepreneurship, and product focus. Based in Canton, Ohio, he balances game design and development interests with a practiced eye for photography, which informs his storytelling and presentation style. Colleagues know him as a creative problem-solver who can refactor legacy systems into modern architectures—and, occasionally, as “a wizard.”
