Career update: After almost a decade, I'm departing Koukoi Games / SciPlay.

It has been a wonderful journey with some amazing people involved, including all the people we hired over the years. 💪

Additionally, I'll also be spending some time with family during the summer days, meeting friends, and just having fun. 👨‍👦‍👦😎

You can reach me freely here or other channels for anything cool!

For time being, I could be also open to different advisory & consulting positions if any interesting opportunities come to the table. It could be I land with something great to take part in, and/or it could be I find something new to build. Who knows? Time will tell! 💼🦄

The feeling when you can skip #Slush2022 with peace in mind and focus on what is important for the moment. 🚀💯🎯🐒

@johncoogan Plus, due to their curation system they do have actually really long release queues, which is another thing they should get rid off.

I understand curation and quality reasons but other platforms just execute this way better with less cash at their hand to invest into this.

[Antti Kananen @antkanan]

@johncoogan There is a risk with wrong curation that devs and publishers could look elsewhere. Hope they do improve this asap, which is better for the whole ecosystem.
