In 2016 I became a rendering engineer at a AAA game company. How did I enter the industry?
[Pointless waffling]
Then I asked on Twitter if anyone had an opening for someone like me. An engineer from RAD Game Tools retweeted it, and that led to 3 job interviews, and ultimately me being hired.

@aeva @jon_valdes it's almost like before they made indiegames the movie. when the hype started and even the big AAAs returned, jeff minter was like "uh well i was always here". i loved that.
