Ouya has announced that it has hired Kellee Santiago as the company’s new head of developer relations. Santiago previously worked at Thatgamecompany on the games Journey and Flower.
“We’ve been looking for someone to lead our outreach to developers, someone who really ‘gets’ how developers work, someone who can help devs bring their most creative, exciting work to Ouya,” wrote Ouya CEO Julie Uhrman. “We are thrilled to share that Kellee Santiago, co-founder of Thatgamecompany (the maker of Journey) and partner at Indie Fund, will be joining us to lead developer relations. We’re calling her Ouya’s DBF (Developer’s Best Friend).”
“Ouya gets it. This is the first console company that really understands how important it is to remove the barriers to development,” Santiago said. “By freeing up the development process, Ouya is opening up new doors in console gaming.”
