What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead high-impact production on AAA games—owning budgets, schedules, cross-team delivery, and IP workflows, while driving measurable creative output and operational efficiency.

I’m a game producer who thrives in fast-paced, cross-discipline environments—bringing budgets, schedules, vendors, and workflows into alignment so creative teams can ship. At Epic Games, I’ve led production for the Epic Music Team and related initiatives across Fortnite, LEGO Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, Rocket League, and an unannounced Disney title, including vendor and contractor oversight, workflow development, and IP coordination with timelines, reviews, and partner processes.

What I’m most proud of is measurable delivery and smarter operations: in 2025 I increased original music production output by 60%, creating roughly 30 minutes of in-game music, 12 original tracks, and 15 musical emotes per quarter; in 2026 I reduced quarterly spending by 40% while creating the same amount of content. Before that, I built and scaled teams—at 2K I created a new business unit (Global Audio Services) that grew to 10 employees across 5 projects and operated below cost within two months, and I served as Producer across multiple AAA titles, including VO direction for casting and sessions. I also served as Development Director for The Sims 4, project-managing world building/level design and VFX while shipping 7 Sims expansions and leading post-morts adoption of Jira into studio workflow; earlier roles included accessibility leadership on South Park: The Fractured But Whole and platform integration, localization, QA, and community oversight on Devilian.
