Hey friends! After taking a time off after PhD, I am now seeking new opportunities! My skill set is diverse, so I'm seeking a range of positions (thread), but in short: If you need someone with 🖥️technical skills who knows how 🐉narrative affects 📡communities, I am interested in chatting with you.

I Released a Game! (two months ago) While everyone is at GDC I was busy finishing up some final touches and a blog for my game "Telegrams from the Choir Train" bjarke.it/article/i-re... I explain why I think of this game as a "communal tamagotchi".

I wrote a Book Chapter! About Destiny! playstorypress.org/books/the-ps... It's called "Guardians Make Their Own Fate" and its about how Destiny's narrative themes are echoed in its community history, covering events in the narrative, community, and marketing over the last 10 years. Out Now!

Been rewatching The Wire over the past few months and it really put some of its seasons in a new perspective for me. Season 2 really resonated a ton more after dealing firsthand with unions and labor in the US, huh. But I really wanna talk about Season 5... (spoilers for The Wire incoming)

Here's some stuff I liked in 2024 bjarke.it/article/stuf...
