Summary
Neil Haran is a veteran software leader and founder with 12 years of experience building scalable platforms and games, currently serving as CEO of Rawbots and Rep Run, a social media project born from Rawbots Lab, while also shaping strategy at mental-health startup Bit Happier. His career bridges consumer-scale systems (senior systems engineer at Zynga supporting tens of millions of DAUs) and deep tooling/pipeline work in AAA game studios (LucasArts, EA, Radical), giving him rare fluency in both live-service architecture and developer tooling. Based in Greater Vancouver, he specializes in designing systems that “bring people together and set them free,” translating creative product vision into practical engineering and operational realities. Notably, his background includes building remoting interfaces and visualizer systems for game asset pipelines—skills he now applies to social and therapeutic platforms that blend community, art, and technology.
