Hey everyone,
I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself since you’ll likely be seeing more of me around here.
My name is Jon Pilon, though a lot of folks know me online as Pylawn. I’ve recently joined AMD (woo!) and I’m stepping into the role of Community Manager for AMDGaming.com, including the forums here but also the broader community.
I’ve been working in gaming and tech communities for a long time, most recently on the Alienware side where I spent several years managing and growing large global gaming communities. A big part of my background has always been about listening to community members, helping surface constructive feedback, and making sure community voices actually make it back to the teams building the stuff we care about.
Outside of work, I’m a long‑time PC gamer and builder. I’ve been into this space since I was a kid and that hands‑on side of gaming is a big reason I ended up in community work to begin with. I still tinker with builds, follow hardware closely, and spend a fair amount of time playing games when I can. I’ll make sure to post whatever I’m working on here so you all can follow along.
If you ever have questions, feedback, or ideas you want to share, feel free to tag me or reach out. This site is for you - so I want to know what you want to see, what pain points you have, and any other thoughts you have so we can build this into the best gaming community site on the internet!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone and building this out together.
– Pylawn
