About

I’m a Managing Director at Gamer2Maker (G2M), where I lead the institution’s strategic direction while staying deeply involved in what matters most: building real games and shaping industry-ready talent. At G2M, I oversee game production, project management frameworks, mentor alignment, studio partnerships, and curriculum evolution, ensuring our programs reflect how games are actually built in the industry, not just how they’re taught. My focus is on creating systems that enable students to move confidently from idea → production → playable prototype, while developing strong ownership, accountability, and production thinking. With Certified Scrum Master (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) credentials, I apply agile principles not just to game projects, but to education systems, studio pipelines, and organizational growth, facilitating excellence rather than enforcing it. I’m always open to conversations around game production, education systems, studio collaboration, and building sustainable talent pipelines. Let’s connect and keep pushing the future of game development forward.
