What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create interactive game experiences where I can shape level flow, gameplay systems, and player-facing content while collaborating closely with art, narrative, and development teams.

I'm currently shaping an upcoming title at Clever Ghoul Studio, where I design level concepts, gameplay mechanics, asset sketches, and documentation that guide player flow and production priorities.

I work closely with Art and Narrative teams to connect asset needs and story beats with level pacing, structure, and the overall player experience.

Before level design, I supported Fortnite live services at Epic Games, testing commerce, cosmetics, interactive tools, backend asset management, and LLM features across console, mobile, and PC. I created testing standards, onboarding documentation, and component dashboards while contributing recommendations for AI-led QA automation.

My earlier QA work at The Walt Disney Company and Konami covered web, mobile, console, backend applications, automation test cases, deployments, regression testing, and bug tracking. I also bring a long-running practice as a Dungeon Master and community event organizer, using communication, creative problem-solving, and time management to lead recurring team-based events.
