I’ve been in the industry a long time but I have to say working on Fall Guys was a dream come true in that we didn’t predict how big it would become and it smashed our wildest expectations.

Another long term dream of mine was to present at GDC. In 2024 I did exactly that with a talk about backend services on Fall Guys during our launch window and beyond.
