Favorite Games
I am a massive fan of roguelikes and games that offer out-of-the-box thinking. I love to enter a new level and immediately have a multitude of ways to approach it. Spelunky 1 and 2, and Streets of Rogue 1 and 2 are the pinnacle of this type of game to me. Both are nonstop fun with massive skill ceilings. You can think through every situation differently, and there is just enough genuine randomness that it can all crash down on you any second.
Industry Focus
I am interested in the way that evolving technologies are making game design more accessible every day. Indie games are thriving and offer some of the best experiences available. I look forward to seeing that expanded upon even more and seeing what ways developers are able to completely subvert typical game expectations.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
I won a round of Tetris 99 once. It might not sound like a huge achievement, but if you knew how many hours I played before finally winning one, you would bring me a medal.
