Hello! I'm Rich Sun, and I am Engineering manager in Social VR, at Facebook . Beforehand, I was a Sr. Director of Engineering at Kabam, Inc. I've been a video game technologist since 1999 and leading engineering teams since 2005, previously working at LucasArts, Planet Moon Studios, and Co-Founding Rogue Rocket Games. I believe having a strong mentor as I did is key to success as a leader and manager, and look forward to working with interesting people here!
Hey, I'm available every Wednesday at 4:30 PM (GMT)
