About Me

App and Game Designer, Producer & Developer – Mobile & Browser

I'm a developer, producer, game and UX designer and mentor. I have 19 years of experience building casual games, serious games, kids content, and other types of applications. My experience and skills also include general app development and UX design.

In addition to working on projects for clients, I’m an instructor at The Academy of Art in San Francisco teaching VR and AR, OOP, storytelling, mobile development, UX, game development and game design.

My creative and technical skills allow me to build rapid and stable prototypes.

I produce, write, project manage, prototype, design, animate and program. I'm a leader, mentor and collaborator. I'm a huge creative and technical asset to any team.

My development specialty is creating easy to use APIs and reusable and extensible frameworks.
