AJ Campos
Co-founder & CEO · Senior Data Engineer
AJ Campos is the co-founder and CEO of Yulixis. By day he's a Senior Data Engineer with around 17 years in data — a career that started at an elementary-school book fair, where he found a book on BASIC and never quite put it down. He's been gaming since he was a toddler, and he builds Chore Battles on the same reward-loop principles that keep players coming back. He writes about behavioral science, game design, and what the data actually says about raising kids: sources linked, anecdotes labeled as anecdotes.
