Dunbar is your personal go-to-network intelligence platform. We analyze your entire immediate and extended connections to reveal hidden contacts, suggest strategic introductions, and help you leverage your network more effectively. Whether you're hiring, fundraising, running diligence, finding customers, or connecting with experts, professionals can explore their network and open doors in ways that haven't been possible before.

As a Founding Engineer, I built our platform from the ground up, overseeing its development across front-end, back-end, infrastructure, and deployment. I designed core systems, APIs, data pipelines, and optimized deployment for scalability and performance. I work closely with the Founding Team to grow our engineering talent and foster innovation, shaping both our platform and engineering culture.

The Web Team is a software consulting firm that Jason Chen and I run together. We've been around since 2020.

We work to simplify technology for our clients by helping business owners harness the value from tools that giants like Shopify and Apple utilize on a day-to-day basis. We guide businesses to choose and integrate technology efficiently and effectively for maximum benefit.

Tech Night! organizes events for technology enthusiasts to take a break from screens and engage in social interactions. Participants can connect with others who share similar career interests, discussing topics such as work, side projects, hobbies, music, or any subject of genuine interest. The emphasis is on building friendships rather than traditional networking. Individuals of all roles, identities, ages, and allies are welcome to join.

I co-host the meetup with Emaline Gayhart and Jacqueline Taylor.

Founded on September 24, 2012, PvP All Day is a platform dedicated to showcasing Aion Online’s most exciting PvP moments. Inspired by early Aion PvP videos, I created it as a hub for players and creators to celebrate the game’s intense action, strategic teamwork, and unique artistic potential. Through PvP All Day, I aim to highlight the creativity and skill within the Aion community, providing a space for fans to explore and share exceptional gameplay content.

Check out the PvP All Day - Commercial Spot that I had previously created to advertise the website.

MyAion, created by Livo, is a platform built around the MyAion DPS Meter—a third-party tool for Aion that tracks real-time combat metrics like damage and healing for both PvE and PvP. Supported by a dedicated team including Kr0NiCk (Discord Bot, new API) and Mats (UI/UX, testing), MyAion helps players optimize gameplay and connect with the community.

As Vinlock, I'm leading the development of the new MyAion website alongside Kr0NiCk, focusing on a more intuitive user experience and seamless DPS Meter integration. Our goal is to make MyAion the ultimate hub for Aion players.

Zephyr is a suite of tools I developed to enhance the Aion Online experience. Originally created for a guild in 2009, it has grown into a platform for the entire Aion community.

The website offers tools like a game schedule coordinator, faction language translator, and links to Aion resources—designed to streamline gameplay and improve communication. My goal is to maintain a user-friendly platform that supports players and strengthens community connections.

As a veteran Aion Online player since 2009, I've become a prominent community figure and expert in gameplay strategy and development. I founded and led the Zephyr guild, managing large-scale operations with over 1000 players, honing my leadership skills in strategic planning, communication, and team management.

Specializing in the Cleric class, I pioneered the "Scatter Kiting" technique, revolutionizing Cleric gameplay by boosting survivability and offensive capabilities in PvP. My deep understanding of class dynamics often enabled me to tackle high-level challenges with innovative strategies.

Beyond gameplay, I’ve been a dedicated community builder. Through Twitch streaming and creating platforms like PvP All Day and Zephyr.team, I’ve raised the skill level and enhanced the Aion experience for players. Although semi-retired since 2014, my contributions continue to shape the Aion community and competitive landscape.

Videos By Me:

• My Cleric videos
• My Sorcerer videos
• My Assassin videos
• Notable videos from other creators

Coming from a film industry family on my father's side and being surrounded by many talented professionals, I was deeply inspired by the creativity that flourishes in filmmaking. Initially, my focus was on attending film school and pursuing a career as a Film Editor.
