Deathy

Cofounder

I've been involved in eSports one way or another for over 10 years. Started in TF2 with ESEA-Invite participation, then Overwatch where I was top 100 from Seasons 2-5. Picked up DotA 2 where I peaked at 6.5k MMR. My mission is to make competitive gaming more accessible to everyone.

Cofounder

I was a Software Engineer at Reddit when it was ~70 people as the third infrastructure engineer, then a Software Engineer at Google as a Tech Lead Manager on Capacity Planning and a Software Engineer on TensorFlow and other ML systems. I started my own gaming company before starting Death Slam Events with Deathy. Been addicted to Deadlock since I found it!
