With 25 years in the technology industry, 6 in XR, 10 in the game industry, and on 4 continents, I may know some stuff.

The Collective Mass welcomes you, weary internet traveler. I love Unity, I make games and I love sharing my findings with the world. When loving so many seat-locking activities, one needs to get up and out, and so must eat good food and drink good coffee. These I hope to share as well. To good code, coffee, and grub, cheers!

Everything shared here is my own opinion and does not in any way reflect those of whoever I have the privilege of currently working for.

These are some of the distilled principles I try to create by. I hope to add to them but the list seems to shrink with the more experience I gain.

  • Simplicity is king
  • Fight the problem, not the people
  • Make it work, make it right, make it fast
