I build digital products, from games played by millions to small experiments that scratch an itch
Analytical product lead at InnoGames, builder of small experiments, dad, Ironman finisher.
- 14 years in product & engineering
- Shipped products used by millions
- Engineer turned product manager
- Ironman finisher
Now
What I'm focused on, as of 2026-05.
- Working on Shipping features for Forge of Empires at InnoGames.
- Building Tasks, a git-backed CLI where humans and Claude Code agents drive the same task board. Plus a steady drip of small AI experiments on the side.
- Learning LLM orchestration and dynamic workflows, getting agents to coordinate real multi-step work.
Inspired by the /now page movement.
Projects & experiments
A running list of things I've built and shipped, at InnoGames and on the side.
Tasks
'26Git-backed, file-per-task CLI for tracking work across six columns, built so humans and Claude Code agents drive the same surface. Each task is a markdown file; every change is an atomic commit.

Skills
'25Reusable agent skills for Claude Code and other LLM tools. Modular capability packs that automate repetitive workflows.

About
I'm an analytical product lead at InnoGames, currently on Forge of Empires. I started here in 2013 as a game developer (I wrote one of the first lines of code on Elvenar) and grew into engineering leadership, then product. Twelve years in, what I care about most is bringing engineering depth into product decisions: the kind of calls that hold up when the data and the deadline disagree.
On the side I run small experiments. They keep me honest about what AI tooling actually does, versus what it claims to do.
Outside work I'm an Ironman finisher and amateur triathlete. Endurance is the closest analogy I've found to product: long races, slow compounding, every kilometer counted. I work the same way.
