Hey! I’m Isaac Overacker. I’m the co-founder and CTO of Alchemy RPG, a team working to reimagine the way we experience tabletop roleplaying games online.
Previously, I worked at CBT Nuggets leading their mobile dev team to craft innovative and reliable offline-first apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, and Windows. During my 14 years in the industry, I’ve also dabbled in startups, contract work, and enterprise.
I think I’m happiest when I get to build something from nothing and witness firsthand the magic of creation. Programming is magic. 🪄
