Managed to produce over twenty five educational game titles that are on multiple platforms such as iOS, Android, Windows and STEAM. Currently, train all the staff to AGILE methodology, specifically SCRUM, with all the necessary artifacts, meetings, and proper cadences for successful game production. Also, managed the game design process directly with in studio product owners, to develop full Game Design Documents (GDD) prior to going into production. Managed all aspects of Studio Operations, resource management which includes performance reviews, disciplinary and improvements. Studio size twenty resources and offshore office in India. Contracts and Proposal Management under the subsidiary CG SolutionsGroup for technology services opportunities.

Conduct college-level master’s course in Game Production Tools also serving as thesis advisor for students and on thesis committees. Course material covers a full spectrum of topics for the game development life cycle. Overall gaming production from a high conceptual level and then step by step required skills are learned to develop and maintain game production schedules. • Gain a good understanding of Solid Requirements and its relationship to Features, Milestones Deliverables, Project Distinction, and the Cut List. • Exposure to Risk Assessing the Production Schedule giving students the fundamentals to mitigating production issues. • Introduction into the agile methodology, specifically SCRUM contrasting to the Waterfall Method. • Build a master task list utilizing MS Excel and MS Project, by taking all production tasks, estimates, and milestone deliverables and input those items into the production schedule. • Build dynamic detailed capacity plans that contain all critical human elements when dealing with a production schedule. • Elements such as resource usage, work hours, and all time off so they can balance the project accordingly; and understand workflow tracking when dealing with a production schedule. • Exposure to MS Visio will aid in reinforcing of the developing solid game flow of a game. • Factors that go into controlling assets will also be learned. Students will gain insight into the tools used in asset management such as Alienbrain. • Develop student skills dealing with game bugs and how to distribute, prioritize, resolve.• Focus on having a strong communication skill set will teach students how to interact with all parties involved in game production. Learning that communication with each level executive, peer, subordinate is crucial to successful completion of the game.• Learn how the evaluation process of the game development life cycle with post mortem.

Conduct college-level master’s course in Production Methodologies also serving as thesis advisor for students and on thesis committees. The Production Methodologies course is a review of the history, theories, and practices in the software and manufacturing industries. The study of gaming, software and manufacturing history, will lead to an examination possible hybrid production models, analysis of companies efficiency in developing software applications to products, alternative methods of production and what can the game industry benefit from this. Software methodologies such as Extreme Programming, Rapid Application Development, Rational Unified Process, Crystal Clear, Test Driven Development, Spiral Model, Feature Driven Development, Dynamic System Development Method, Open Unified Process and Essential Unified Process are dissected and related to possible relationship to gaming. MRP and ERP are manufacturing processes that students get exposure to and possible intrinsic positives that can be related directly to the gaming industry. Human Resource Processes and Procurement (Outsourcing) and the integral roles each has in the overall production models.
