Associate Producer at Gravity Well
As an associate producer, I coordinated work for the narrative, localization, and QA teams. I created processes for voice-over work, localization implementation, and smoke test maintenance. I also developed the milestone planning process, project roadmap, and Jira workflow with the help of a talented production staff.
Web Developer for Academic Governance at Michigan State University
As a web developer at MSU, I learned how to plan technical projects for a large organization and execute on those plans. I also helped run livestreams for academic governance events across campus.
Production Intern at Gravity Well
Working in the production department, I learned about AAA production methodology. I assisted managing large scale projects and mastered tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Perforce to best support the team. What started as an internship, eventually turned into a full-time role at the company as Associate Producer.
Paint the Town Dead
A fast-paced first-person brawler that combines creative combos and colorful carnage into a unique high action experience. Alongside Sony Santa Monica’s consultation, I solo produced a AAA-quality vertical slice.
Miskatonic
Miskatonic is a passion project that all started from a six week sprint for a vertical slice. Miskatonic is a horror game where players take the role of a cosmic monster to scare complex characters. Feedback was so positive that we spent another year developing it into a full title.
Isoskate
An isometric skating game where players create their own dream skateparks to overcome challenges. We were able to create a stylistic game by establishing art directions early and mapping out asset needs in accordance to development time.
Cormac’s Inferno
My team and I created a proof-of-concept for an action puzzle Metroidvania. We used Agile Scrum methodology with a burndown chart to manage tasks up to release.
Skatebrawl
My team and I created a proof of concept for a game that combined skateboarding movement with beat-em-up gameplay. We documented design elements early and worked to prove out the most essential elements for this vertical slice.
