The work

What I own

I lead the product and the engineering: architecture, releases, infrastructure and long-term technical direction across both platforms.

One codebase, two stores

Built end-to-end in React Native, so iOS and Android ship from the same codebase with the same release cadence.

Growth without a publisher

500K+ downloads came organically — word of mouth among players, not paid acquisition or publisher distribution.

A decade of maintenance

More than ten years of OS updates, store policy changes and platform migrations.

Shaped by its players

A decade of reviews, messages and requests from real game nights decides what gets built next.
