Jarryd Huntley is a technologist and independent game designer who has been working in IT and software engineering for nearly a decade. He will discuss how the rise of independent development and mid-sized studios had made game development outside traditional West Coast hubs more viable.

He has played important roles in Cleveland, Ohio’s growing game development scene as both an instructor at Lorain County Community College and as an independent game developer.
