Lerika Mallayeva
With DevGAMM since: forever
Starting off her career as a multidisciplinary Flash Animator and Game Artist, Lerika’s passion for games runs deep. Her earliest childhood memory is when she pulled an all-nighter on New Year’s Eve with her friends and took turns playing Heroes of Might and Magic 3 on the same computer. Ever since that night, she knew she wanted to be involved in the industry.
As the founding member of DevGAMM, she’s been through it since the beginning back in 2008, and led the conference under Absolutist and Renatus before striking out on her own. She then grew the event from a small garage meetup to one of the fastest-growing gamedev conferences in the region, and is now looking to break new territory in the Baltics and Greater Europe. One day, she says, she hopes to host DevGAMM on the moon.
In her free time, she plays on every console she could get her hands on, including the Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, saving her PC for the occasional game of Rust.
Lerika Mallayeva is the founder of DevGAMM. DevGAMM is an international B2B games conference series built around high-value access to the founders, decision-makers and teams developing, funding, publishing and powering games.
