ABOUT ME
I am a Senior Gameplay Engineer with 11+ years of professional experience in gameplay programming, tool building, prototyping, mentoring junior developers, and supporting live service AAA PVP shooters and independent multiplayer titles. I am an adept technical decision-maker with a wide range of experience spanning multiple languages, architectures, and engines.
I've worked at Blizzard Entertainment for the past 2 years, first on an unannounced title, second on Overwatch 2. In the previous nine years, I shipped 9 mobile titles on iOS and Android that have reached 50M+ downloads from players all over the world. I have nearly a decade worth of experience in Unity; expertise in C++, C#, HLSL, and Cg; and basic knowledge of Unreal.
My lifelong passion has been to create games that captivate and engage players, recreating the same feeling of awe that I felt when I first picked up a controller at age 9.
I am based in Orange County, CA, where I live with my corgis Evie and Obi.
