Fun fact: the Marathon spinner is actually a hand-coded shader! It has to display before the engine loads any textures or videos, so it's entirely procedurally animated and rendered by a shader I wrote for it using SDFs, procedural noise, and a pile of math for the animation :)

I know games are a business
It's a brutal truth
Because they strain so badly to be something more
I was out in a bar, after fight practice
The Tuesday after layoffs
And someone recognized my shirt
"Oh, have you been playing the new update?" She asked
Excited

It was a huge honor and privilege to spend nearly 12 years helping bring Raids and Dungeons to life. It means so much to me how many of you enjoyed the content, and built lasting bonds with people because of it.
I worked on other RaD, season, and expac content, but my primary work was on RaD as technical design owner of:
Pantheon 1 and 2
The Desert Perpetual Normal and Epic
Vesper's Host
Salvation's Edge
Ghosts of the Deep
Spire of the Watcher
Kingsfall Reprise
I had a pretty good run.

I was the design owner for Epic Koregos :)
It was absolutely the hardest project I've ever been a part of, but I had an incredible team with me, and they carried me and it across the finish line. I'm so grateful!!
The excitement for it makes me so happy, thanks for playing <3
I was the Tech Design owner for both Normal and Epic Desert Perpetual! Overall, some of the most complicated mechanics we have ever done on the development side, but I think fairly approachable for players once they learn them.
My job is to help design and build all the mechanics. So I work with designers across every encounter to provide technical and design insight, build out the mechanics, and help solve basically any problem that needs to be solved.

Peak Raid, probably my favorite ever. This race actually topped SE for me due to it being more execution than puzzle based, I loved it in every way. Was very skeptical about the non linear format but with such an hard Final Boss I honestly didn't mind it, cool experiment.
If Datto has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Datto has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Datto has only one fan then that is me. If Datto has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Datto, then I am against the world.
