I'm an experienced designer with strong writing skills. I'm an AI programmer by education, and I've worked in leadership positions.I've worked on all sides of the industry, from journalism to localistation to development. I've worked with teams from three to seventy. I've developed casual, indie, and AAA games. I'm a generalist with a unique ability to bridge communication gaps between people from varying specialties.I prefer inspiring games over impressive ones.I'm interested in making games that represent a long-term investment. A copycat will earn you a million today. An inventive, unique experience will earn you a billion in ten years.I strongly believe team management and leadership is about coordination rather than hierarchy. I've been working hard to employ this principle in all my jobs.I believe in interdisciplinary teams and iterative prototyping. I do not believe in crunching.
