Hello there, my name is Rory Evenson-Phair, I am a full-stack software engineer and game developer living in New York City.
Once upon a time I was a visual artist. I have always loved video games so to make a game, I taught myself how to code. I spent four years creating Beraltors, a PC/Mac game released on Steam. I found that I really enjoy programming and wanted to pursue it more. I attended App Academy, an intense bootcamp with a less than 3% acceptance rate. There I learned full-stack web development using; JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, React/Redux and PostgreSQL. I am also interesting in AI and have a Deep Learning specialization from deeplearning.ai. In my free time you can find me, creating things and flipping around on a flying trapeze or trampoline.

Dungeon Companion exists to provide DMs (dungeon masters) with a toolkit to make the gaming more organized (and more enjoyable!). No more will a DM need to keep track of the all of the stats of player characters, monsters, or the general sense of what is happening within combat. Instead, a DM will be freed up from the logistical depths to provide players with a more engaging, robust gaming experience.
