About
With over 15 years in game development, I’ve led programming and technical direction on award-winning games including Monument Valley 3, Desta: The Memories Between, and Star Trek: Fleet Command. My work spans gameplay architecture, team leadership, production delivery, and turning uncertain prototypes into shipped products.
Through Mindful Cloud Games, I’m now building AI-native simulation games where player language shapes character behaviour, belief, and emergent storytelling. I’m interested in practical, grounded uses of AI that create new forms of play rather than simply adding generative content on top.
