During my two years as a contract designer for Sony Bend, I became an integral member of the open world game's progression department while also dealing in open world related systems design. My responsibilities included: player progression, inventory management and crafting systems, economy balancing, loot systems, player statistic balancing, consumables, open world item population, and a number of unannounced systems.

I took part in play-testing, troubleshooting and debugging the Mac and Linux editions of Papo & Yo. I spent time playing through each level, testing each setting and noting any crashes or other hiccups to the programmers in charge. In addition to identifying some bugs, I also provided solutions to these problems as well.
