BIOGRAPHY | Brianna Wu is the head of development at Giant Spacekat, a company specializing in cinematic
experiences using the Unreal engine. She’s also a frequent speaker on women-in-tech issues. In the past, she’s worked as a journalist and a politico. When she’s not developing software, she enjoys racing motorcycles and running marathons.

She starts with a PS1 Net Yaroze, and specializes in game design. Serendipitously, Wu assembles an all female team to build Revolution 60.
