Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Woodhead is a veteran software entrepreneur and creator with decades of experience building games, developer tools, and cultural tech ventures, best known as co-author of the early Wizardry series and co-founder of pioneering anime distributor AnimEigo. He blends deep roots in classic game design and Macintosh-era software (authoring the first Mac shareware Reversi and original Virex) with entrepreneurial instincts demonstrated by SelfPromotion.com and long-running independent publishing. Based in Wilmington, NC, he mentors FIRST Robotics teams, bringing hands-on engineering and product intuition to STEM education. His specialties span game design, subtitling, crowdfunding, web applications and “weird programming,” reflecting a restless curiosity about niche technical problems and cultural distribution. A Cornell alumnus in psychology and computer science, he pairs creative storytelling sensibilities with practical systems thinking. Notably, his career bridges the dawn of consumer computing to modern indie media, making him as comfortable shipping code as commissioning dubs and subtitles.
