Fun is subjective
Life’s not all about sprints, standups, and story points. I make it a priority to stay creative, stay curious, and stay connected. Here's a glimpse at how I recharge, explore, and experiment outside of the professional sphere.
Boardgames & Analog Fun
Whether it's the chaos of Betrayal at House on the Hill or the storytelling of DnD, boardgames are a go-to for connection and challenge. I’ve even prototyped & ran a few of my own — play-tested with friends, fueled by snacks.
Time Well Spent
My wife and our high-energy sidekick Boo (a fetch-obsessed Ratonero Andaluz) make life better daily. Whether we’re hiking, chilling, or cooking together, they’re the heartbeat of my off-screen time.
Books, Worlds, and Ideas
Reading keeps me sharp. My Kindle’s loaded with sci-fi and fantasy, with the occasional UX or psychology deep-dive to keep my inner researcher happy. Bonus points for a good world map at the start of a book.
Game Design Experiments
I’ve explored Unity and XR in my free time — often spinning up small, weird prototypes for the sake of curiosity. One of them turned into a little browser game that lives here.
Wanderlust Mode
I've visited 30+ countries — from wreck diving to close and personal with wallabies. Travel is how I reset, get inspired, and remember how big (and beautifully weird) the world really is.
In the Kitchen
Cooking is how I unwind — part creative expression, part science experiment. I’ve been known to over-engineer poke bowls and host vegan dinner dates. (No regrets.)
