Throughout my career, I’ve worked across continents and industries—from building enterprise websites to designing game mechanics and authoring technical books. I’m driven by a deep respect for clarity and usability, and I strive to make technology more human through thoughtful design, clean code, and purposeful documentation.

Career Highlights

In 2020, I founded Viroid Games , an independent studio that transitioned into a consulting practice for small teams. I’ve delivered strategy guidance, creative support, and B2B content while continuing hands-on development and mentorship. During this period, I also authored Game Development with Blender and Godot (Packt), turning complex workflows into digestible, beginner-friendly instruction.

Beyond development, I’m deeply invested in education and community. At OCAD University, I designed and taught Low Poly Game Art, helping students at various levels navigate technical concepts with confidence and creativity. I also founded the Godot Toronto community to foster learning and connection between developers.
