Description

As an inventor, creator, product manager, CEO, CTO, writer, and artist, I’ve contributed to establishing and promoting standards and practices like PDF, DVD, podcasting, ARGs, and digital video. I’ve designed apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android platforms and authored screenplays, white papers, and books on technology, sci-fi, and gaming. I’ve staged and managed large-scale Alternate Reality Games (ARGs)/transmedia projects across diverse media, including print, phone, email, video, film, and digital platforms. My work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, LA Times, CNN, PBS, BBC, Audible Original (named the best of 2024), and many other outlets. My transmedia project Ong’s Hat is recognized in academia and the gaming industry as the first proto-ARG. It has been profiled in Games(TM), Slate, Thoughty2, Gizmodo, Audible Originals, and BBC, among others. The Incunabula Papers CD-ROM is part of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France digital art collection.
