About Ben Zeigler
I have 15+ years experience as a programmer in the game industry, building MMOs and games based on the Unreal Engine. I helped to create the gameplay framework systems in UE4 and UE5 and have been working as a consultant for Epic and indie studios using the engine. I\'m also working on my thesis for a Masters degree in Psychology, where I\'ve been investigating the causes of online harassment. As I finish that work up, I\'m looking for possible opportunities to combine my game/tech background with ideas for making the internet (and world) a better place.
