About Me

A Unique Perspective

Heya! My name is Tess, and I am a recovering corporate drone with over 12 years of professional software engineering experience in the Financial Tech industry, and now 3 years in games. I am now a passionate game developer and game designer for both the table and screen.

Throughout my time I've worked as your everyday code-monkey, people manager, project manager, and technical lead. I've shipped and fixed things under tight deadlines and terrible architecture. Throughout it, I try to work with the teams and systems I have rather than chasing the shiniest thing out there.

You're getting a perspective that fundamentally values practicality, authenticity, and human connection.
