Play Learn Vote: voter education, as a system

Play Learn Vote
Sri Lanka · Sinhala and Tamil · LIRNEasia

A complete voter-education system for LIRNEasia, built on IDRC-funded research showing that games are among the most effective ways to build resilience to election misinformation. I was the lead developer (with RAM Studios as development partner): story-led scenarios, mini games and quizzes, strictly non-partisan.

02Software & systems

More than games: platforms I build and run

I design, build, host and maintain production systems: backends, dashboards, analytics and infrastructure, mostly self-hosted.

Vector-tile map illustrationIllustration

Custom self-hosted map engine

Built for an international client's location-based mobile game: a real-world map streamed from our own vector-tile server, with no paid Google or Mapbox map API. Tiles are parsed on the device, turned into 3D roads, buildings and water, cached for offline use and loaded around the player's GPS position.
