The Pop in Your Job
I’m passionate about continuously delivering added value to the business. This is particular true for value provided by applying state-of-the-art technology in order to secure a unique selling proposition for my company. The more complex a challenge, the more fascinated I am. That’s why much of my time I spend with negotiating monopolistic demands. When not busy with negotiations, I support our company in preparing ourselves for taking benefit of new technology like Artificial Intelligence. I also give lessons on Quantum computing. As a result of all these activities, we regularly outperform peer groups in benchmarks on our T&C’s.

Above all Sharkmob is a creative environment to develop games in, with true ownership and passion. We are fortunate to work with things we are passionate about and we have the privilege of creating entertainment for others to enjoy. We believe that if we have fun making games, people will have fun playing them. Fun is also about daring to do mighty things that allow us to reach levels of achievement we otherwise can't. All things said we want a fun, professional experience & so we all must lead by example. We want everyone to feel like they have a stake in the games we make. Our games are not the brainchild of a few people - we own them together. Everyone’s contributions, opinion, and feedback matters.

We embrace a system of "disagree and commit". This means that we accept that we might not always get our way but we wholeheartedly support decisions we make as a team. Doing more with less and making an extra effort to find the optimal way forward is always valued. We rely on smart decisions to take us further than otherwise possible.
