CTO / Founder

2012 - 2018

In 2012, I co-founded Space Ape with a vision to create London's best mobile gaming startup. As a co-founder, I embraced multiple roles alongside my official position as CTO, significantly shaping our award-winning company culture through initiatives like agile development squads, 360-degree staff feedback, OKRs, vertical service teams, and innovative office design. These efforts resulted in multiple "best place to work" accolades. As CTO, I led the development of a cutting-edge, highly scalable and flexible hosting and analytics infrastructure as well as a world-class mobile gaming engine. I also oversaw corporate IT through our rapid expansion and office relocations. I cultivated and mentored a highly capable "office of the CTO" team who ultimately assumed my responsibilities post-exit. Additionally, I spent time mentoring and coaching other staff members across levels and departments. Within 4 years, we raised funding up to Series C from renowned venture capital firms like Accel and Northzone. With our team of 130 industry leaders, we launched four titles played by tens of millions of players and generating over $70M in revenue, with many more games in the development pipeline. In 2017, we achieved one of our desired outcomes: joining Supercell through a majority acquisition.
