What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead cross-functional teams in mobile game development, drive LiveOps and monetization growth, apply data-driven design, and improve processes in a collaborative, growth-oriented studio.

I am a results-driven game designer and project manager with a background in QA, game design, and mobile game LiveOps. I have overseen full game development lifecycles, led cross-functional teams, optimized workflows, and driven launches on Play Store and iOS while improving retention, engagement, and monetization KPIs.

My career progressed from manual and automation testing into game design and project management, where I have created GDDs, designed core mechanics, run A/B tests, and implemented in-game event strategies. I bring strong stakeholder management, data-driven decision making, and a passion for aligning development goals with business growth.
