What drew you to product ownership, and how has your career evolved to focus on the intersection of tech and esports?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been coding and hacking ever since university and as a developer I have always focused on delivering usable software. At the same time, I\u2019ve been playing Counter Strike, Starcraft and videogames in general a lot and spent my free time concocting strats and trying to convince my team to adopt them. The evolution to the Product Owner role just came naturally once I decided to move from the Developer world to a new set of challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. If you could describe your product philosophy in three words, what would they be and why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep it simple. We work in a complex business, and oftentimes we risk building complex solutions and get lost in the weeds. The best products are the simplest solutions to real life problems, and that\u2019s what I strive towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Esports and data solutions sound like a match made in heaven. What\u2019s your favorite way GRID makes esports better?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>With my team we focus on building APIs but when I see what visualisations can come out of the JSON results we expose, I am always delighted. The fact that we invest a lot of time in title-agnostic solutions means that our internal teams can build a visualization once and have it work for all our Titles. And that\u2019s true for our customers, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. As a Senior Technical Product Owner, how do you ensure GRID\u2019s products remain innovative and valuable in the fast-evolving esports industry?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only do I personally play and follow the esports scene, but I\u2019m surrounded by friends and colleagues who have similar interests. And of course, there\u2019s talking with our customers directly, understanding their vision and what they want to build next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Outside of work, what\u2019s a hobby or passion that shapes the way you think as a product owner?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s surely games! I play everything, from board games to card games to video games, and I\u2019m into game design and what makes games fun and compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Look out for the next edition of Meet the Team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in learning more about GRID or current job openings, head to our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/grid.recruitee.com\/#\/\">career page<\/a>.<br>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/grid-esports\/\">Linkedin<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gridesports\">X<\/a>&nbsp;and stay up to date with all the news from GRID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when a lifelong gamer and seasoned developer takes on product leadership in esports tech?
