About

At Netflix Games, I focus on perfecting discovery systems that help gamers find their next adventure. My path here winds through my work at Pocket Gems, where, as an engineering leader, I delivered War Dragons to a global audience, driving over $500M in bookings. My expertise lies in building scalable tech that empowers and connects—because the community is at the heart of gaming. I'm all about the magic when players and stories come together. Keen on tech talks, gaming insights, or a good industry conversation. Let's connect!
