Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMike Seese is a founder and senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building developer-focused infrastructure for games and blockchain, currently leading Incanta Games' Redwood multiplayer backend and heading Unreal tooling R&D at Hathora. He brings full-stack strengths—from debugging EVM internals and contributing to Truffle/Ganache to shipping polished UI and CLI improvements—and has led teams and SaaS product efforts at Truffle Suite. Comfortable in C++, TypeScript, and systems-level work, he has a track record of improving core VM behavior, developer UX, and scalable multiplayer server tooling. Based in Vancouver, WA, he combines aerospace-grade algorithmic rigor from earlier Lockheed Martin systems work with indie-friendly game backend design, and he actively supports the Unreal community as a local organizer. An operator who ships on day one, he’s as fluent in open-source collaboration on projects like Ganache as he is in architecting self-hosted backends for persistent MMOs.
