Before Slop University, Sana spent six years as the resident economist on a live-service MMO, where her job was to read a firehose of transaction logs every week and decide whether the currency needed a new sink before players noticed the inflation themselves. She left industry when she realised she was having more fun explaining why a market broke than shipping the patch that fixed it.
She teaches the framing weeks and the case studies, and marks the Capstone. If a lecture cites a real number, she is the one who chased down where it came from.
