Hi, I'm Rob.

I build products by trade and worlds by inclination. The first one pays for the second; the second keeps the first interesting.

By day I'm a Staff Product Manager on a Munich-based AI product team. By night I write fantasy fiction set in a homebrew world (Nuvem), DM two D&D campaigns, and tinker on an SNES-style RPG. In between I cook every day. It's the opposite of product work in the best way: problem and solution in the same hour, no backlog, no review cycle, just creativity in real time.

The worldbuilding is where my product brain finally gets to play without a roadmap. The cooking is where it gets to stop. Both keep the day job honest.

How I think. Product thinking applied to creative work, creative thinking applied to product work. I'm interested in how systems hold together: a roadmap, a magic item, a chapter that has to land. I ship rough versions and improve them in public, because a real thing you can iterate on beats a perfect one you're afraid of.

What I'm open to. Conversations about products that need clearer thinking. Creative collaborations where the brief is interesting. Questions about anything in the TTRPG section.
