I'm Alice: mad scientist, product manager and documentation lead.
Since November 2020, I've been focused fulltime on building Bevy. If you're not familiar with it, Bevy's a fantastic open source Rust game engine: fast, ergonomic, wildly modular and ECS-first.
My time is currently split fairly evenly between:

Building projects in Bevy (current one is an unannounced not-game project!).
Maintaining Bevy itself.

These two activities synergize very effectively! I learn a ton about the practical limitations of the engine by using it in a serious commerical game, and I make improving the game easier by enhancing the engine it's built in.
Along the way, we release standalone open source tools that we find useful, like leafwing_input_manager or taffy, and contribute upstream to other great crates like winit and hexx.
On the Bevy team, I do a solid mix of:

drafting, refining and critiquing RFCs that help build the foundational architecture of Bevy
reviewing and merging PRs from our thriving community of hundreds of users
defining useful work for our team by creating, refining and prioritizing issues
onboarding and mentoring new contributors
helping Bevy users directly, answering their questions and figuring out where our docs need more work
documenting the engine, including writing and editing the Bevy book

This is my full-time career: your support lets me pay the bills, stay focused on Bevy, make fun, fascinating games and build awesome tools.
