About
I've developed and shipped indie games, selling over 600 copies across Itch.io, Nutaku, and Steam. I build gameplay, levels, and game systems, with experience in C++, Unreal Engine, Blueprint Visual Scripting, Godot, GDevelop, and RPG Maker.
I've also supported AAA game releases at Sega of America and Activision Blizzard through black-box, exploratory, localization, and live-service testing, using Jira to report and help resolve issues. At Reworld, I designed and developed game mechanisms, gameplay, levels, systems, and testing functions using the Reworld engine.
