About

The story so far

I'm a Software Engineer with over 25 years of experience spanning game development, AI systems, and technology leadership. My career has taken me from shipping AAA titles at Electronic Arts and Bandai Namco to founding and leading my own companies.

I specialize in AI and gameplay programming—a combination that earned me a patent while at EA. These days I serve as CTO of my own ventures, steering both the technical vision and day-to-day engineering at Night Garden Studio and Desert Edge Technologies.

When I'm not architecting systems or reviewing code, you'll find me in my home studio crafting soundtracks—several of which have shipped with Night Garden's released titles—or somewhere in Summoner's Rift, reminding myself that mechanical skill and game sense are two very different things.

Music

Beyond the code

Music has been a passion of mine for many years. I've composed original soundtracks for multiple games released by Night Garden Studio—sitting at the intersection of my two worlds. It's a hobby that keeps me creative in ways that engineering alone never could.

Game Soundtrack Composer

Original music for multiple shipped titles at Night Garden Studio. From ambient atmospheric layers to driving action themes—built to fit the game's moment and mood. Composing game music means understanding the player experience first; the notes come second.

🎮

League of Legends — Enthusiast (Results Vary)

After 25+ years of engineering and music, even a veteran needs a way to unwind. My preferred method is League of Legends—where all my pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and reflexes apparently count for very little once the game actually starts. I'm too old for the Rift, but not old enough to stop trying.
