Bryan

Head of Product Engineering

With an extensive history in product development and startups, Bryan’s experience includes everything from Web3 R&D at TD Ameritrade to pioneering DreamWorks Animation’s first publicly available AR / VR products. But that’s not why he was hired. He was hired because he can recite all the lyrics to Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire while speedrunning Super Mario World. When he’s not doing that, he might be snowboarding.

Favorites: Mega Man X, Titanfall 2

Michael

Co-Founder | Chief Product Officer

Michael comes to Strider after a long and successful career in the video game industry working for companies like EA, Jam City, Kabam and Storm8 on notable projects like The Sims Franchise and Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. He claims there’s nothing fun about him, but balances this out with a deep like of sloths. If he was an emoji, he would be the emoji that people use to indicate a person who doesn’t use emojis. So yeah, he’s really leaning heavily on liking sloths. Also, he wishes to put down the rumor that he enjoys BLT sandwiches.
