I'm Alice: mad scientist, product manager and documentation lead.

Since November 2020, I've been focused fulltime on building Bevy. If you're not familiar with it, Bevy's a fantastic open source Rust game engine: fast, ergonomic, wildly modular and ECS-first.

My time is currently split fairly evenly between:

  1. Building projects in Bevy (current one is an unannounced not-game project!).
  2. Maintaining Bevy itself.

These two activities synergize very effectively! I learn a ton about the practical limitations of the engine by using it in a serious commerical game, and I make improving the game easier by enhancing the engine it's built in.

Along the way, we release standalone open source tools that we find useful, like leafwing_input_manager or taffy, and contribute upstream to other great crates like winit and hexx.

On the Bevy team, I do a solid mix of:

  • drafting, refining and critiquing RFCs that help build the foundational architecture of Bevy
  • reviewing and merging PRs from our thriving community of hundreds of users
  • defining useful work for our team by creating, refining and prioritizing issues
  • onboarding and mentoring new contributors
  • helping Bevy users directly, answering their questions and figuring out where our docs need more work
  • documenting the engine, including writing and editing the Bevy book

This is my full-time career: your support lets me pay the bills, stay focused on Bevy, make fun, fascinating games and build awesome tools.

One fifth of a market rate salary! Once this goal is reached, I will commit to spending each working Monday focused entirely on open source Bevy work.
