About

I run an 80-person, product-first game studio that somehow keeps making mobile games millions of people actually want to play (yes, we’re as surprised as you are). Our core belief? Simple: games should be fun and sticky, not just another app you delete to make space for photos. We’ve gone from cooking sims to puzzles hits, and now we’re poking our noses into RPGs, Idlers, Hybrids and Word games because why not make life harder for ourselves? My role? To shepherd developers, designers, and artists from idea → prototype → global launch, while trying not to lose my mind over deadlines, scope creep, or “one last tweak.” Bottom line: you don’t need Silicon Valley to make world-class games. You need bold ideas, stubborn teams, and maybe a dash of AI magic to make workflows less painful.
