Hello There!

I'm Riley Abrahamson, a web developer, ice cream connoisseur, and internet dork trying his best. I currently work at Uplift Games(Opens in a new tab)—the hit studio behind Adopt Me!(Opens in a new tab)—as their Web Engineer. While at Uplift, I've been nominated to the shortlist for the Game Dev Heroes Unsung Hero award(Opens in a new tab).

I previously studied at North Dakota State University(Opens in a new tab), where in my undergrad I pursued computer science, web design, and strategic communications--as well as a good handful of German! During my time there, I established and operated their League of Legends Club(Opens in a new tab), the first student-driven organization centered around both esports and community play.

I love sitting at the intersection of games, web, and users. I'm dedicated to building tools, detailing designs, and crafting experiences that connect people with things they care about; I aspire to work on the technology you choose to spend time on, not have to. I'm always eager to grow as an ally to my underrepresented peers in the industry and as an active practitioner of A11Y(Opens in a new tab) principles.

I currently live in the pacific time zone and have the two cutest miniature Australian shepherds in the world.

Feel free to reach out to me if you also:

  • Just, like, love video games
    • Especially platformers, Soulslikes, roguelikes, deckbuilders, roguelike-deckbuilders or even League of Legends
  • Play board games and TTRPGs
  • Enjoy cooking (and making ice cream!)
  • Go to the movies and then instantly start looking up director interviews on the ride home
  • Want to do better for accessibility in engineering and design
  • Are a current student wanting to learn more about the games or web industry
  • Have a sick ice cream spot to share 🍨
