About Me
I’m a Gameplay Designer focused on combat and player systems, with experience building and tuning gameplay directly in Unreal Engine and proprietary engines. I design and prototype player abilities, weapons, and encounters, with a strong focus on player facing responsiveness, clarity, and moment-to-moment feel.
At ZeniMax Online Studios, I worked on a third-person action MMO, contributing to player kits, combat systems, and gameplay iteration alongside engineering, animation, and VFX. I also build independent prototypes and contribute to external projects to explore combat flow, pacing, and player decision making.
