What I'm looking for

I’m eager to use my experience in process improvement and cross-functional collaboration to contribute to a company’s objectives.

At Mob Entertainment, I coordinated sprint cycles and daily stand-ups for a distributed team, refining Jira epics and stories to clarify dependencies and improve delivery predictability.

I also established foundational workflows for external partners and developed contracting frameworks with legal, including role definitions and onboarding guidance.

At Lost Boys Interactive, I instituted an outsourcing framework for vendor studios and created a request and intake system covering the vendor lifecycle.

At Deep Silver Volition, I coordinated vendor studio deliverables across Malaysia, Spain, and the United States, and authored documentation and checklists for outsourced tasks.
