From the moment I first laid eyes on Super Mario Brothers at the tender age of 5, I was fascinated with video games and their ability to captivate, entertain, challenge, and burst the boundaries of the human imagination. I started to learn how to code a few years later when I was 12 with the express purpose of creating video games and developed several simple titles that my friends and I enjoyed immensely.

Fueled with a fiery passion for game development, I went straight into the gaming industry right out of college and joined IGT, where I worked for 12 years, developing over 20 games and rising through the ranks to become a Lead Software Engineer within the Ignite studio. I then moved on to Aristocrat for 2 years where I became a Software Engineering Manager over a team of 9 game developers creating games for a mobile application.

With over 7 years of leadership experience and nearly 15 years of professional game development, I am able to deliver passionate leadership in game development tempered with nonstop hands-on development experience.

In 2020, I founded Archwing Entertainment to share my love of game development with the world and released my first title on Steam – The Last Archwing. This title has since sold over 1,400 copies and has received high praise from the gaming community. My next title, Before Eden, has been in development for a number of years and will receive a live demo on Steam once it’s been fully polished, though the game is fully playable in it’s current state and a link to the pre-demo can be found here.

In 2023, I joined Luciano Design as its CTO where I have since leveraged my talents to build up the technology side of the company to put us into position to rapidly scale up and deliver ambitious roadmaps of the most engaging and innovative games on the market.
