About

I am Austin Tinkel (he/him), a software engineer and tabletop game designer. I graduated from Ball State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Japanese.

I am experienced with C#, Cache ObjectScript, Git, Java, Adobe Photoshop, Linux, and Agile and Scrum methodologies. I have worked on Agile teams for over 5 years.

I worked with small teams to create video games such as Canning Heroes and Adventuring Supply Company using Unreal Engine 4.

I have also designed tabletop roleplaying games such as That Belongs in a Museum! and Embers Among Ashes. I have run successful, long-term campaigns of Blades in the Dark, Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition, and Pathfinder 2e.
