About

For over two decades, I’ve been focused on building and leading ambitious game projects, with a strong emphasis on narrative, sophisticated gameplay, and immersive world-building. I’m the founder and CEO of Angelicore Game Studios*, a cross-platform game development and publishing studio. I lead the creative and production direction of our projects, overseeing game design, narrative vision, team building, partnerships, and long-term strategy. Our flagship title, Angelic, is a narrative-driven strategy RPG set in a dark sci-fi universe. I’m directly responsible for shaping the game’s creative vision and overall direction, while guiding the studio toward delivering a focused, high-quality experience built around story, atmosphere, and meaningful player choice.
