For work, I'm the Technical Integration Manager at Playmob, where we build web games for good causes for brands.

Previously I was a hosting, developer relations and product manager over a long career as an early employee at GameSpy/IGN, where we created online gaming communities and infrastructure for over 1,000 games. Before that, in the stone age of the Internet, I was a web developer at an an agency that built some of the first web sites for major brands on the emerging Web.

Tools I use include React/Next.js, Tailwind, KeystoneJS, Prisma, Serverless Framework/SST, Astro, Tinybird, Retool, Metabase and more.
