About Me
Experienced Multi-Disciplined Developer
I’ve been in the games industry for over 15 years now, having worked on teams and projects of all sizes, from small indie startups to massive multi-studio AAA behemoths — though I much prefer teams on the smaller side. I have experience in nearly all areas of game design, but primarily systems, gameplay, UI/UX, and narrative. My background in tools engineering and automation allows me to be hands-on with the technical implementation of features as well as their design. I love creating beautiful solutions to difficult problems, and collaborating with others to create unforgettable player experiences. I’m most interested in working in games that delight players with novel features and systems, to bring something new and exciting to the industry.
