// about
I help devs actually finish games.
I've been making Unity tutorials and game dev content on YouTube since 2018 and shipped two games on Steam in the process. The stuff I talk about is the unglamorous stuff that decides whether you'll ship: cutting scope, getting marketing right, and not burning out.
- 2020 Started my YouTube channel @samyam. Began working at Google.
- 2021 Left Google to become a full-time YouTuber.
- 2025 Reached 100K subscribers and finally got my play button. Shipped my first Steam game. It's sold 5K+ copies.
- 2026 Shipped my second Steam game. Sponsored videos with Unity, Meta, Milanote, GameMaker. More to come...
