Tools & Gameplay Programmer
I am a core technology focused game programmer based in California, with a strong emphasis on building scalable tools that adapt as projects and teams evolve. I believe that "tools live longer than games" and have a massive impact on development speed.
My work centers on identifying workflow bottlenecks and eliminating them through tooling. My background in gameplay programming exposed firsthand how productivity is constrained by the tools available, which led me to transition toward tools development.
I enjoy working closely with developers, artists, and designers, using their feedback to iterate quickly and ensure the tools I build solve real problems in production.
