About AMIE D.D.

My Story

How I got here.

Hi, I'm Amie DD — software engineer, cosplayer, hacker, LEGO Master, and maker. I build things that blend technology with the worlds I grew up obsessed with.

Amie is based in Seattle, Washington with a background in Game Programming and Simulation and started her career at Marvel Studios as the first female intern the video-game department at Marvel ever hired, working on Captain America and X-Men Destiny, she transitioned to Research and Development for development work on the Xbox and Playstation. She is a full-time senior software developer at Microsoft and is active in the maker, LEGO, hacker and cosplay communities, and continue to obsess over new technologies. She is no stranger to viewing the future, projects and the world for more than they could be. From her Tesla chip implant hack to being on LEGO Masters, to hacking a government satellite, she continues to push the boundaries of tech and doing something that hasn't been done, even when others didn't always see her vision. The one thing that makes dreams impossible to achieve is the fear of failure. The adult that still play with LEGO and makes/dresses in costumes. Working on cosplay costumes has helped her become a better programmer, teaching her to finish a project, and always better herself, and never be afraid to be a beginner. Amie started and fully funds a scholarship for girls in STEAM(Science, Technology, Engineering, AI, Mathematics) through the National Videogame Museum located in Frisco, TX.

"I'm always learning and improving myself and skill-set and I see that passion isn't a plan, it's a feeling. And feelings change. You create your life by living it, and my life is more than a game."
