David Baszucki earned his engineering degree from which university?

David Baszucki earned his engineering degree from Stanford University. He graduated in 1985 in electrical engineering as a General Motors Scholar.

Baszucki studied engineering and computer science at Stanford, where his technical interests connected software with physical systems. During a summer internship at General Motors, he worked in a laboratory focused on using software to control car engines. That combination of engineering and programming later shaped his career in educational simulation software and online creation tools.

Before Roblox, Baszucki and his brother Greg co-founded Knowledge Revolution. The company developed Interactive Physics, a program that let students and educators construct digital physics experiments. MSC Software acquired Knowledge Revolution in 1998, and Baszucki later became an angel investor.

In 2004, Baszucki and Erik Cassel began developing the platform that became Roblox. Roblox’s name came from combining “robots” and “blocks,” and the platform officially launched in 2006. Baszucki is also widely known by his Roblox username, Builderman.
