My love for immersive game experiences predates my coding abilities. From childhood adventures in virtual worlds to earning a Master's in Games Programming, passion has fueled my journey.For over a decade, I've collaborated with industry leaders across the globe, honing my skills as a Senior Designer, Product Owner, Programmer, and Team Lead. I've brought diverse projects to life across various platforms, engines, and genres, even self-publishing indie mobile titles for a well-rounded perspective.I've secured high-profile projects by captivating clients with my innovative game concepts. I once built an intricate spreadsheet to create 3,000 meticulously designed stages. I have delved deep into player data to craft truly addictive experiences. I make my own prototypes. I've also engineered powerful design tools, eradicated countless bugs, and optimized code to perfection.My career has been marked by continuous learning and leadership. From early programming roles to leading cross-functional teams, my journey has been defined by building strong foundations, acquiring new skills, and mentoring others. I'm proud of the talented teams I've collaborated with to build truly engaging experiences. Every team member I've mentored has developed a passion for game development.Outside of building virtual worlds, you'll find me exploring those of others - battling through an epic FPS or traversing a sprawling RPG. I constantly seek new experiences to broaden my perspective as a designer. I'm also captivated by the night sky, often setting up my telescope for stargazing. And when I crave a different kind of creation, you might catch me in the kitchen, experimenting with new recipes to share with loved ones.
