Gay-Nerds.com
Created back in 2010, Gay-Nerds.com is a geek culture website for LGBTQIA+ nerds, dorks and everything in between. I created this pet project mainly because I didn't see a lot LGBTQIA+ voices represented in geek culture back then. It was a large endeavor that spanned from website development to content creation and marketing and we were featured in places like Kotaku and Queerty.
