Worked on the multiplayer combat team on Call of Duty MW3. Owned the design, implementation, playtesting, and tuning of various equipment, perks, and killstreak rewards, from initial early concept through prototyping, and implementation of final art. Additionally contributed to design and playtesting of core combat systems, player progression, and new game modes. Worked in a script-heavy proprietary engine.

Shipped Destiny 2: The Witch Queen Destiny 2: Season of the Risen as part of the Vanguard (seasonal content) team. Owned, designed, tuned, and implemented the currency economy for playing seasonal activities and earning seasonal rewards. Developed expected model for expected player behavior, and ran playtests to verify its accuracy. Additionally, designed and implemented seasonal activity achievements.

Shipped Destiny 2: Season of the Haunted and Destiny 2: Season of Plunder with the sandbox team, primarily focused on Solar and Arc subclass reworks. Intent of these reworks was to bring the old subclasses up to par with the new subclass system introduced in the Beyond Light expansion, attempting to add buildcrafting options to increase depth in each subclass while maintaining core fantasies and already existing playstyles. Contributed to initial brainstorming and design, implementation, playtesting, and tuning of these subclasses. Additionally, focused on modifications of the early player experience of learning and obtaining these subclasses due to the increased complexity. Designed and ran community events to unlock additional build fragments shortly after the release of each season, as a re-engagement point for lapsed players and content creators.

Led teams building prototypes in Unity of promising new game pitches. Teams ranged from myself as a solo dev to multidisciplinary team of ~6 people. One of these projects was a pitch around combining tower

defense battles with a merging metagame, which gained a lot of internal traction and thus was staffed up to a larger team to be released to users in test markets, to promising initial retention results.

The core of this project went on to later form the basis of a newly shipped title by Pocket Gems, Adventure Chef: Merge Explorer.

Before working on new titles, I worked on Wild Beyond, a blend of RTS and card games

on mobile. Initial responsibilities were iteration and prototyping on both combat and metagame

systems to try and find the best market + user fit for the project, as another large game

came out a few months before our intended launch.

Later responsibilities were to lead combat design on new unit cards, prototyping and

implementing new mechanics, managing new card ideas through our 3d character art

pipeline, doing final design and implementation, + defining how new cards and balance

changes fit into our live service model. With a team of 10-15, built 6 commanders, >90 unit cards.

Also designed some features for elder player engagement, such as weekend events and a

boss rush game mode

Worked in in-house engine w/ primarily Lua and ObjC tools.
