Noatak Post

Noatak Post (he/him) grew up in Juneau, Alaska and attended Sitka Fine Arts Camp as a camper many times. He was immersed in Juneau's music community from a young age where he learned he had a love for teaching music and conducting. In high school, he also took an interest in programming and robotics.

In college those worlds collided, and he earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Education as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. Noatak used these skills to start creating video games as a way to combine his love for art, technology, and storytelling. He released a handful of free games in addition to creating a Virtual Reality Conducting Simulator as a thesis project for his degrees. During college, Noatak also started a company called Gllama Games with his best friend to develop and publish video games. They released their first game Upstream in 2025 and are working on their next project now.

After graduating, Noatak worked for Microsoft as a software engineer, getting a taste for the corporate world of software development. Currently Noatak works as a middle school teacher in Seattle, WA teaching Orchestra, Band, Music Appreciation, and Media Literacy/Digital Art, where he works to introduce video games as an artistic medium to his students.

​Noatak will be teaching Video Game Design and will be assisting in String Technique and Orchestra at High School Camp.
