Meet The Team: Evan Lesmez

Evan is a software engineer with a deep passion for technology and its potential to drive change. He has always loved programming and problem-solving, but what truly excites him about his role is the ability to apply his skills to a cause he believes in. 

Outside of work, Evan enjoys playing soccer and video games, as well as working on side projects. He stays active in his community by attending advocacy events and connecting with others who are passionate about making a difference. 

His journey to advocacy was sparked by an eye-opening documentary that made him realize that simply making personal lifestyle changes wasn’t enough, he wanted to take action and be part of a movement for change.

Evan dreams of developing a video game that weaves in powerful themes about ethics, compassion, and the impact of human choices. He believes games have the power to make people think deeply, and he hopes players will reflect on their values in an engaging, meaningful way.

For those looking to get involved for animals, his advice is simple: take the first step. Whether it’s learning more, attending an event, or contributing your skills, every action matters.

Quote: “It’s a privilege to use my craft for something that aligns with my values.”
