I do not work for Roblox. These links are to profiles I control, and I have been a developer on their platform for several years. It's given me great programming experience and a lot of strong connections, helping me kickstart my career pretty well. Overall I've been pretty happy with my 'exploitation'. :-)

Nowadays I work more on open-source Roblox-related libraries rather than developing on the platform itself, as game design and development isn't a strong area of expertise for me.

Astroturfing is a well-known occurrence on this forum and I don't have any shame for being vigilant about it.

Fair enough, and you certainly shouldn't feel any shame for it. I apologise if I came across as if I were a shill or paid promoter (not the first time I've been accused as such), I've just been part of this debate for a long time and have written a lot on this particular topic.
