Tina is the founder and sole surviving member of SoftEgg. Originally starting
SoftEgg to pick up the rights to Princess Maker 2 after the disolution
of "Adventions", she worked her way to the top of the console video
game industry, starting with Pirate's Gold for Microprose on the
Sega Genesis, continuing with localizations of Japanese RPG's on
Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation for Working Designs, and eventually
programming gameplay for million-selling titles for Insomniac Games.
Since then she has worked as a contract programmer both inside and outside of the game industry, on projects as diverse as Silent Hill: 0rigins for Playstation Portable, to PDF generation for electrical billing, drivers for thermal cameras, control systems for telepresence robots in Flash, and password setting for encrypted hard-disk systems, among many others. She has also done original development, releasing SoftEgg's first self-published product "Rhythm Core Alpha", a music creation system for Nintendo DSi and 3DS in 2010, and the much improved sequel "Rhythm Core Alpha 2" in 2013.
In 2016, she won a residency for electronics design at the Supplyframe DesignLab in Pasadena California, where she produced a prototype of the NanoEgg Synthesizer, and learned 3D solid body modelling, PCB design, and various equipment like laser cutters, CNC machines, PCB mills, and 3d printers. In 2017 she started producing swag items on a volunteer basis for MAGwest, including electronic jewelry, and the first version of what would become SoftEgg's first hardware product, the Stylish Belt Buckle music synthesizer.
After COVID, understanding that there was a brief moment of calm before the US would be taken over by fascism, she spent 4 years downsizing and packing in preparation to flee to Europe, which happened in 2024.
She is now trying to restart her life in her new home in Berlin, working to solidify her immigration and build new contacts and new products for this next, and probably final chapter of her life.
