I wanted to do everything.
I loved art, music and writing stories, and I dreamed of putting them all together. Games were the one medium that could hold every one of them, so that is where I went.
From making games to orchestrating them
I couldn’t do it all, so I learned to make it happen.
I realized I couldn’t do every craft myself to the level of the vision in my head. Project management was the next closest thing: a way to touch a little of everything. Along the way I found that fostering, leading and organizing a team gave me purpose.
The team is what keeps me going.
If weaving art, music and story into a moving narrative is my passion, project management is my internal compass. When the work gets hard, I persist because I have a team to care for.
I conduct the whole orchestra.
As a product and program manager I orchestrate multimodal creation and problem solving, drawing on insight from every discipline I’ve worked in. My multilingual and multicultural background makes me a very adaptive, versatile and collaborative person.
Then AI changed the timeline.
Apps, automations and solutions that used to take weeks or months now take a few days of iteration with an LLM. I use AI to code and prototype apps and tools in a personal way I had never seen before. The big idea I kept shelving because “I don’t have the time” was suddenly within reach.
Why generative AI
I want to work on generative AI because it helps people like me create in ways that were impossible before.
One of my hobbies is making fun animations of alternative endings to anime I love, which I couldn’t have imagined doing a couple of years ago. The future holds so much possibility, and I want to help build the technological backbone that lets more people’s creativity soar, in whatever modality that is.
