Games & Interactive Systems

Game thinking, everywhere.

From a commercial Steam roguelike to AI RPG tools and gamified learning — I build games, and I bring their best ideas to products that aren't games at all.

Engagement by Design

How I apply game thinking to non-game products

Streaks, XP, challenges, comparisons, battles, rankings, and progression aren't just for games — they're how you make a product worth coming back to.

XP & Levels

Reward progress so the next action always feels worth taking.

Streaks

Build daily habits with momentum users don't want to break.

Progression

Unlock depth over time to keep long-term users invested.

Rankings

Add comparison and status to drive repeat engagement.

Battles

Head-to-head mechanics that make decisions feel high-stakes.

Puzzles

Solvable challenges that create a satisfying daily ritual.
