Mike Bosse
Chief Engineer

Mike Bosse, MAK's Simulation Solutions Chief Engineer, harnesses chaos. With his unique ability to sift through the noise and chaos of new technology, Mike identifies, harnesses, and implements the best solutions for each project. We call him our Chaos Commander.
With a career forged in the crucible of research and development, Mike has spent his career turning chaos into order and innovation. Previously at L-3 and EA Sports and now the Chief Engineer at MAK Technologies, Mike has repeatedly developed innovative solutions, transforming nascent ideas into fully-fledged products. His leadership has turned struggling programs into success stories, demonstrating his skill in rallying teams and steering them toward victory. Mike excels at running small, agile teams, generating groundbreaking ideas, and reviving legacy systems. One of his strongest powers is his unparalleled debugging skill, followed closely by his affinity for high-level design. A tech lead at heart, Mike is known for developing innovative solutions that defy convention and consistently deliver results.
D'Voran McIntosh
Senior Software Engineer
"Swiss Army Man"
Meet D'Voran McIntosh, the Swiss-Army Man of the Simulation Solutions Division. With the superpower of unparalleled flexibility and a rapid learning curve, D'Voran adapts to any challenge and excels in countless roles.
As Senior Software Engineer at MAK, he has transitioned seamlessly between teams and projects, enhancing the LUA Behavior Engine, improving aircraft functionality in VR-Forces, contributing to MAK FIRES, and currently working on NICO. D'Voran's career began at Thales Avionics, where he worked on their inflight entertainment system from 2016 to 2020. With 8 years of software engineering experience under his (black) belt, he brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project he touches. Making sure he is always ready to jump in and save the day – in any context – D'Voran spends his free time on weightlifting and strength training (and he holds a black belt, so watch out bad guys). His versatility and quick learning make him a valued team member who is always ready to lend a hand and tackle new challenges.
Hunter Roessler
Business Development Associate
"The Marine Mastermind"
With Hunter's innate positivity and quick wit, his superpowers extend far beyond mere charm. Known as the Marine Mastermind, Hunter is our Marine Corps subject matter expert in artillery and fire support, and brings unparalleled problem-solving skills honed through years of active duty and reserve service with 4th ANGLICO.
From his days as a certified personal trainer to his current role as a Business Development Associate at MAK Technologies, Hunter consistently demonstrates his ability to lead and innovate. Whether coaching CrossFit part-time or analyzing gaps to enhance MAK Fires into a premier Joint Fires Observer (JFO) trainer, Hunter's dedication and strategic acumen make him a formidable force in any arena.
Betsy Varela
Office Manager
"The Executor"
There's no two ways about it – Betsy is the Executor. With the power to foresee needs and craft intricate tactical plans, she tackles tasks big and small with precision and efficiency.
Betsy anticipates the team’s logistical challenges, devises strategies to attack, and executes plans flawlessly. Balancing her rigorous Computer Science studies at the University of Central Florida with her role as the Orlando office manager, many credit Betsy as the crux of the team. On the cusp of her senior year at UCF, she has already earned a reputation as a mover, shaker, and doer, and we are proud that Betsy has chosen to spend her time saving the day at MAK.
