Engineering leader focused on the people, platforms, and infrastructure behind planet-scale games and services at Scopely Explore. I provide technical direction, mentorship, and leadership on Pokémon GO.
Led adoption of agentic workflows on Pokémon GO, establishing retrieval-augmented generation patterns and a practical approach to AI-assisted coding.
Helped developers distinguish useful AI assistance from unreviewed code generation, while aligning leadership expectations with the realities of engineering practice.
Leading improvements to Pokémon GO’s decade-old infrastructure through better tools and automated processes.
The goal is to reduce manual work for engineers, site reliability engineers, and release managers, while lowering the chance of human error.
Guiding work to minimize downtime and keep workloads scaling through major events and machine stock outages.
Resource availability has become harder to predict. The work centers on keeping services dependable as demand and available capacity change.
Invest in tools and processes that give engineers more time to solve problems.
Pair technical direction with mentorship and realistic expectations.
Plan for scale, outages, and the human side of operating live systems.
Outside engineering leadership, I spend time running, taking photos, playing games, and experimenting with local AI agents.
A reason to get outside, find a rhythm, and keep going a little farther.
Collecting moments, places, and details that are easy to miss when moving too quickly.
