Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Rodriguez is a driver engineer and game developer liaison with four years of focused experience building ring-0 audio and virtual drivers while bridging technical needs between studios and platform teams at Playcast.io. Based in Salinas, CA, he also crafts and ships games (Polygone, StreamSavers) on Steam and develops curriculum-quality Unreal Engine courses for GameDev.tv, blending deep engineering with hands-on teaching.
