Maria has been in the online gaming industry for years, and you could call her an energetic “field researcher” in this world built on technology, data, and user psychology.
She is curious about everything. From the vibrant, lively culture of the Philippines’ streets and alleys to the complex patterns of human behavior revealed through numbers and algorithms online—these are the things that make her eyes light up with a desire to explore.
She once led the development of an entire user behavior analysis module. For her, this wasn’t just a technical challenge; it was like searching for clues in a giant puzzle. Every time she untangled a complex data thread, it brought the simple joy of discovery.
Writing is her way of satisfying this boundless curiosity and connecting different worlds. It’s her large-scale, literary playground. She loves to connect the wild ideas in her head with real-world observations—be it the local flavor of the Philippines or data trails on a platform—and play with different concepts to see what unexpected sparks fly.
Outside of work, she’s an avid traveler and a collector of peculiar souvenirs, like unique packaging wrappers or old ticket stubs. For her, there’s always a new story or a fresh perspective to be found in these small, overlooked objects.
