Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolZachary Canann is a Senior Software Engineer in San Francisco with 11 years of experience building games, developer tools, and production systems across startups and larger teams. He has shipped commercial indie titles that teach hacking and low-level CS—earning over $100K in sales for Squally—and recently led major game systems and tooling in Unreal Engine for Pantomime. At Manticore and now Roblox he delivered voice, streaming, and client systems, plus security audits that uncovered critical exploits, showing a blend of systems, networking, and security expertise. His open-source contributions to Squalr demonstrate a focus on clean architecture and decoupling in C# tooling for game hacking. Comfortable across C++, C#, Java, Lua, and assembly, he pairs low-level technical depth with product-minded engineering and hands-on build pipelines (including motion-capture and AI-driven voice toolchains). Colleagues describe him as an entrepreneurial engineer who turns gameplay concepts into production-ready systems.
