Game Producer - Project Manager

  • As a Producer, I manage the entire product development lifecycle, from initial concept to app store release. I leverage a solid understanding of Agile, LEAN, and continuous development methodologies to navigate challenges and ensure our team always understands product goals and backlog priorities.
  • Previously, I honed my project management skills as an outsourcing project manager, collaborating with industry-leading studios like Sony, EA, Wargaming, Respawn Entertainment, and Epic Games, consistently delivering projects that met strict timelines and quality standards.
  • My vision is to continually be a better game producer everyday. Throughout my career, I have lived by the motto of being kind, active listening, inspiring and uplifting others.
