Introduction

I am experienced technical leader who enjoys taking a high level of ownership over his work and spending time in the space where technology, leadership and business coincide. I have a particular passion for software architecture, building teams and communicating clearly around technology. Even though I dislike the term, I consider myself a technology evangelist[*] and believe my unique selling point is my ability to communicate and inspire around technology.

Profesionally, I have worked on a number of games, from small two-person indie-games such as Ikaroids on the Xbox 360 to bigger games such as Stellaris and Crusader Kings III. I have experience working with custom game engines (C++ / Lua / Objective-C / C#), XNA and Unity and have also worked with iOS/iPhone applications (Objective-C and Swift) and do a little server-side work with .Net and Node JS.

I mostly use this site to share updates and downloads of personal projects that I work on but sometimes also share some of my findings and personal learnings in tech and leadership in my blog. Enjoy your stay!
