We are joined this month by our friend Christian Aguila, Lead Game Programmer at 8 Circuit Studios and CEO & Founder at Far Frontier Studios. Christian will talk about his experience hiring contractors, managing people, gaining visibility, and what it's like to work a day job and run your own studio on the side. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session and networking.



Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
