I love building things. I hate talking about them.

Hey everyone, I'm Pat.

I've spent over a decade designing engagement systems for the mobile game and online casino industries. The irony of being good at getting other people's attention while being deeply uncomfortable asking for my own is not lost on me.

Would you focus more if your productivity funded something real?

For over a decade I designed retention systems for the casino industry. Variable rewards, streak mechanics, loss aversion triggers. I got very good at keeping people engaged with things that weren't good for them.

At some point that stopped sitting right with me.
