Dan Vicarel

Dan is a Software Engineer on the Amazon Prime Gaming team by day, and an indie game developer by way too late at night. He first started programming on a TI-84 calculator in 2009 and has since become a full stack developer specializing in the .NET ecosystem, web technologies, and the Unity engine. Having participated in numerous game jams with the Cleveland Game Developers, and implemented the backend infrastructure for several small indie titles, Dan is very passionate about applying the architectural best practices of "general" software to gameplay programming. When not programming, you can catch Dan playing piano, listening to world history podcasts, watching movies, and going on hikes with his wife and 3-year old son.
