Associate Producer | Technical Game Designer

U.S. Combat Veteran

I’m a disciplined, systems‑driven creator with a Master of Science in Entertainment Business and a Bachelor of Science in Game Design from Full Sail University. My career began in the U.S. Army, where I led high‑stakes operations as a Sergeant and Flight Chief — managing $400M+ in mission‑critical assets, coordinating unmanned aerial surveillance, and executing complex risk assessments under pressure. That experience shaped my approach to game development: clear goals, tactical execution, and relentless iteration.

After transitioning into civilian life, I spent 7+ years leading high‑volume technical remodels and infrastructure projects, completing over 1,800 installations with near‑zero rework. I engineered workflows that increased team output by 30%, enforced “Level 5” finish standards, and acted as the sole point of contact for over 1,000 clients — all while maintaining 99% on‑time delivery.

Today, I apply that same precision and leadership to game development. I specialize in Unreal Engine 5, building gameplay systems, AI behaviors, and level blockouts with a focus on clarity, iteration, and production‑ready execution. My portfolio includes survival‑RPG prototypes, multiplayer replication systems, and full C++ rewrites of core gameplay logic. I’ve built inventory systems, stat loops, harvesting mechanics, and save/load architecture — all from scratch, all in code.

As an Associate Producer, I manage Agile pipelines using Jira, Confluence, and Git, simulate studio environments, and translate creative vision into actionable roadmaps. I thrive in cross‑functional teams, bridging the gap between design, engineering, and production with military‑grade organization and technical fluency.

Whether I’m scripting a stamina system, debugging replication logic, or leading a sprint review, my goal is always the same: build systems that work, communicate clearly, and deliver results.

🧭 Core Values

1. Discipline Over Chaos

I approach every project with structured intent. Whether leading a combat team or architecting gameplay systems, I rely on clear goals, tactical execution, and accountability.

2. Systems Thinking

I don’t just build features — I build frameworks. From inventory logic to AI behavior trees, I design modular systems that scale, adapt, and survive real-world stress.

3. Iteration is Mastery

Every prototype, every blockout, every rewrite is a step forward. I believe in failing fast, learning faster, and refining until the system works under pressure.

4. Communication is a Skill

I translate complexity into clarity — whether I’m writing SOPs, sprint reports, or design breakdowns. I bridge the gap between vision and execution through precise, intentional communication.

5. Ownership is Non-Negotiable

I take full responsibility for the systems I build, the teams I lead, and the outcomes I deliver. I don’t wait for direction — I create it.

6. Respect the Player

Every mechanic, every level, every loop is built with the player in mind. I design for engagement, clarity, and emotional payoff — not just functionality.

7. Adaptation is Survival

From combat zones to codebases, I’ve learned to adapt quickly, troubleshoot under pressure, and pivot when needed. I treat constraints as creative fuel.
