I help engineers ship. Occasionally I ship too.

About

I'm a senior engineering leader based in Tokyo. I spend my weeks helping teams build and ship software, and my weekends making games.

I write about leading engineering teams, the AI coding tools I use every day, and why a one-shot prototype isn't the same thing as a game.

Now

  • Rebuilding my game, Neon Overrun, in Unity, with an iPad version on the way.
  • Running Chum: small events in Tokyo where everyone arrives alone and leaves with new friends.
  • Writing my first post, on why a one-shot AI prototype isn't a game.
