PROFILE

Narrative designer, author and software architect combining storytelling, interactive narrative and technical implementation. I develop story-driven experiences from concept and narrative structure through prototyping, implementation and release. My background spans fiction writing, interactive storytelling, game design, software architecture and data-driven product development. As an author, I bring experience in character development, dialogue, dramaturgy, worldbuilding, historical research and long-form storytelling. As a developer and former Salesforce architect, I am used to translating complex ideas into structured systems, defining maintainable solutions and working across disciplines from requirements to release. My particular strength lies at the intersection of story, systems and interaction.
