Derek Rumpler Email & Phone Number

I am the lead game designer, CEO, and founder of Alkterios Games, a company that develops games for the Wii U.I individually developed and created game code and assets for games. Sometimes I would purchase assets to meet my desired aesthetic.I coordinated and collaborated with Nintendo employees to assure that all my games met their guidelines.Currently I have two games shipped. These are Hold Your Fire: A Game About Responsibility (release: September 2015) and Explody Bomb (release: September 2015). More are on the horizon and I hope to expand into Xbox One development and development on other Nintendo consoles. I am currently authorized to develop for Xbox One and other Nintendo platforms.

San Francisco Bay Area

I was accepted into a position as a mobile user acquisition intern at Game Changer. I learned many things about mobile analytics and the world of SEO/ASO. I improved my skills in Microsoft Office programs such as Excel and Word. I also learned to use industry specific software, such as Upsight (formerly Kontagent), App Annie, Searchman, Google Keyword Planner, Fiksu, Chartboost, Mobile App Tracking, and other mobile analytics programs.I worked with six clients on projects surrounding popular mobile games. Much of my work with these clients included helping them improve their Apple and Google app store and Google search engine presence, drive downloads of their apps, and organize and post creatives to popular ad networks.I also initiated projects surrounding user experience. I used my game design experience to make suggestions on how to improve clients' games.

San Francisco Bay Area

I was accepted into a program initiated by the Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Students at Miami University to intern with other students in the San Francisco Bay Area. There was a formal application process and only a limited number of students were permitted to attend. Although the program formally begins in February 2014, we had a number of months to prepare and learn what is expected of us as future interns.
