It always feels a little awkward to write a bio, but I thought I’d share a bit more about myself for anyone who’s curious.
I’ve loved games for as long as I can remember, starting with video games. I spent countless hours in RPGs like Diablo II and Baldur’s Gate, strategy classics like Heroes of Might & Magic III, and later MMORPGs like Lineage II, Aion, and World of Warcraft.
I still enjoy video games (I play on PS, with Elden Ring being one of my all-time favourites), but over time I realised that board games touch me in a more meaningful way. There’s something special about gathering at a table, laughing, and overcoming fun challenges together with friends and family, with no screens and no distractions. That kind of quality time is priceless, and Think Gaming was born from that feeling.
My actual board gaming journey is fairly recent compared to some long-time hobbyists. I’d say I only really started around 2020. One of my first “proper” games was Runebound 3rd Edition, then Mice and Mystics, and before long I was completely absorbed by Gloomhaven. Since then, I’ve fallen in love with tactical RPGs, fantasy adventures, strategy card games, roguelike deckbuilders, and everything in between. Today, The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era is my current number one game.
What excites me most is digging deep: customising characters, experimenting with builds, finding clever plays, exploring smart mechanics, and then sharing those discoveries. If I had to summarise my mission with Think Gaming, it would probably be this: I help people get the most out of their favourite games by sharing deep analysis and in-depth strategy guides, so they can spend less time confused and more time having fun.
Alongside board gaming, I spent over a decade building a career as a music producer and DJ, which led to receiving a prestigious Global Talent visa and moving to the UK in 2023. More recently, I was awarded a scholarship to Ali Abdaal’s Part-Time YouTuber Academy, which gave me the push to start my YouTube journey.
Between that background and my obsession with systems, analysis, and teaching, Think Gaming is where I try to bring everything together – passion for games, clear communication, and just being openly nerdy, because that’s who I am.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for being part of this journey.
