March 20, 2026 A nostalgic nod to a ~12 year career in gambling

I have a degree in Artificial Intelligence from way before it was cool, but never ended up in a software development role.

Instead I worked in Product Management building poker / casino / bingo products for major gambling industry brands, before shifting to more general IT Management roles.

I was never particularly proficient at coding, although have always tinkered with small side projects over the years. Mostly with zero revenue!

The emergence of GenAI and new coding assistants has been a big unlock, and allowed me to finally create a game I first tried to build years ago as an Amazon Alexa Skill.

It was a lot of fun to make, and I have a Trello board full of ideas to keep me busy :)
