[ ABOUT ME ]

I build evaluation and autorating infrastructure in the AI Data organization at Google, where my work decides how millions of model outputs get judged. Outside of that I ship things: Gaslight Parlor, a social bluffing game live on the iOS App Store; Kanjion, a daily browser puzzle about instructing an AI agent in six lines; and Tenth Spring, a privacy-first RPG whose map you unlock by actually going places. I like small games with one sharp idea, and I like finishing them. Off the keyboard: indoor rock climbing, local co-op games, and too much manhwa.

[ PROJECT 01 — SHIPPED ]

GASLIGHT PARLOR

iOS · v1.2

A party game about forging your friends

Everyone writes a fake answer to someone else's personal prompt, then the table votes on which story is the real one. Shipped end to end: App Store release, Victorian-parlor art direction, and the live room sync underneath it.

KANJION 漢字音

Web · daily

Six lines to steer an AI agent

You watch a looping replay of a booking made on a sandboxed clone of a Japanese rail site, then get six 60-character instructions to make an AI agent reproduce it. Copy-paste and manual clicking are off, so describing what you saw is the only move.

TENTH SPRING

Godot · GDScript

Your map is the places you have actually been

A creature-collection RPG for PC set a generation after a collapse. Tap "Explore Here" on the phone companion and the real city you are standing in opens on a fog-covered map — real life opens the doors, and everything behind them is earned by playing.
