I have spent 15 years building games and the technology behind them. World of Warcraft set me on this path as a teenager, and I have been engineering interactive experiences ever since. Today I lead SPARQ, an AI-native game creation platform backed by Andreessen Horowitz and built from the ground up in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.
My background is deep technical. I studied Software Development and Management at TU Graz, then spent a decade as CTO and CEO across multiple technology companies in London, Zug, and Vienna. Across those ventures, projects I built or led reached more than 10 million players.
At SPARQ, we wrote 3 million lines of proprietary C++ engine code, assembled a 20+ person engineering team, and put 6,000 creators on our waitlist before taking outside capital. I live in Dubai with my wife of twenty years and our four homeschooled kids.
AI-native game creation platform positioned between Unreal Engine and Roblox. SPARQ enables individual creators and small teams to build professional-quality games using AI-powered development tools, without writing code, hiring engineers, or managing production pipelines. The platform is built on 3M+ lines of proprietary C++ engine code using a methodology called Code Diffusion.
