About

Technology, AI and gaming have shaped my career. They've taken me through public & private consultancy and multiple tech startups. Along the way, I saw firsthand how game developers struggled to understand player behavior. Many studios lack the tools & time to efficiently recruit players, run structured research and analyze feedback - all critical for improving engagement and ROI. This led me to co-found Antidote, a cloud-based UX and playtesting platform designed to help studios improve their games with real player data. Here are some reasons why many studios and publishers work with us: Dedicated research platform with built-in data collection and analysis tools Global player community covering diverse profiles and demographics Top-tier security measures (incl. auto-SDK and cloud streaming) In-house UX and market research teams to help polish games Today, I dedicate all my time to growing Antidote and ensuring game developers have the insights they need to build extraordinary player experiences. If you’re in the gaming industry and want to talk about playtesting or UX, let’s connect!
