Welcome to my portfolio!
I am Samantha Trimboli, an Associate Developer Communication Manager at Roblox with a background in production, computer science, and 2D animation. The digital world continues to inspire and motivate me to be creative and innovative. I want to share my passion for games and animations with the world.
Current Work
Roblox
At Roblox, I operate alongside product, marketing, and communications to cultivate the relationship between Roblox and its developer community. Working cross-functionally with these teams, I author and edit long-form and short-form content to support major launches across Avatar, Audio/Video products, and more. I lead focus groups, 1:1 calls, and closed betas with engineering teams and developers in order to surface actionable insights that inform product decisions.
I collect and synthesize community feedback into structured reports and build sentiment-tracking and AI-powered recap tools to ensure developer voices are represented in roadmap discussions. In addition to publishing updates on the Developer Forum, I collaborate with social media and communications partners to amplify product news across channels and ensure clear, consistent messaging to diverse creator audiences.
