MY
EXPERIENCE

01 // PROFILE GAME / LEVEL DESIGNER

I stand at the intersection of Art and Engineering. I architect living, breathing ecosystems where player agency creates emergent narrative.

My expertise lies in translating high-level creative direction into concrete, playable reality. At Cloud Chamber (BioShock 4), I spearheaded end-to-end mission architecture, driving the vision from conceptual blockout to ship-ready polish while managing complex interdisciplinary dependencies.

I am a Technical Craftsman first. My deep proficiency in visual scripting, AI behavior trees, and combat logic allows me to prototype complex systems independently, bridging the communication gap between Design and Code.
