Co-Founder and CEO at abstraction.Video games have a particular set of essentials that come together to create an experience; from the idea to the storyboard, the technical elements, the engaging visuals, the execution and game play and more importantly, the right people to make it all happen. I consider it my job to facilitate and inspire to make amazing things happen.My passion for gaming started way back with the venerated Commodore 64 and Amiga consoles. I honed my programming skills in industry for many years but the desire for autonomy and creative freedom led me to establish abstraction in 2007 as a Sole Proprietor. Nowadays, we're a corporation with over 80 staff members.I’m not a typical CEO. I still oversee most of our projects to at least some extent, so that every project adheres to our core values, giving rise to creativity, pixel perfection and game-play excellence. We’re gamers making games for our peers, we know how important every detail needs to be.I’m proud to say that once abstraction had become the definitive porting studio in the video game industry and is trusted to deliver top-tier IP’s across multiple platforms, very quickly abstraction also became known as a solid development studio, co-developing original IP together with high profile partners like Funcom, Paradox, Mythical Games, BioWare and 343 Industries. With all the experience and wisdom gathered along the way, abstraction is now well-prepared and ready to build their own original game content.These day’s I leave much of the actual coding to the wonderfully talented abstraction team and besides being a guardian of our core values, I spend much of my time researching and envisioning new business opportunities, gaming concepts and technologies, so we can stay ahead of the curve.
