I take pride in creating and thriving in a culture of engineering excellence, and I enjoy helping others to achieve their dreams!I have over 17 years of programming experience in the gaming industry for more than 15 AAA shipping titles releasing on PC, Mac, Xbox, and PlayStation. I have served 4 franchises that have reached over a billion dollars of lifetime revenue, each.I have shipped: Guild Wars 1, 2, Blade & Soul, AION, Lineage II, Forza Motorsport 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; Forza Horizon 1, 2, 3; Forza Motorsport 6: Apex; Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7, and over 18 features within Amazon Connect.Each day, I live with a purpose to improve something, and when I can the day is successful. My Meyer-Briggs personality is an Advocate, this means I live my life for the benefit of others, form deep bonds with those I interact with, am enthusiastic, inspiring, emotionally intelligent, and creative. I am a planner, mitigator, anticipator, and—with the help of others—I make a lasting impact with whomever I meet, or whatever I interact with.My leadership style is primarily democratic. Collaboratively, I create sustaining processes and iterative roadmaps to ensure successful, timely, budget-conscious releases. I build, nurture, and guide high self-functioning teams using total motivation, focusing on personal improvement, building self-efficacy in others, and driving best practices. I have used production methodologies such as Agile, Kanban, ITIL; OKRs; book clubs; peer programming; and personality/communication exercises with positive affect.I passionately believe in diversity, inclusion, and fostering a sense of belonging. Every person should be their genuine, authentic self. I believe that together, we can positively change the culture of our world through stories we tell, products we create, and actions we perform.I invest in people, their careers, and try to find alignment with everyone to meet the ever-changing needs of the business. I believe that together, coupling my experiences with feedback from my peers, we will deliver world class engineering solutions and drive best practices that will motivate, empower, and grow our development strategies. I believe in building a culture of trust, accountability, growth, focus, resilience, and agency. In this way we gain psychological capital with the satisfaction, engagement, and commitment that motivates us to move mountains quickly and efficiently.Together, we can create a culture of engineering excellence and deliver memorable and inspiring products to our customers and audience!
