Games get made because someone holds it together.
Three ways to read the work
Same producer, three lenses. I apply across game production, creative operations, and program management. Pick the one that matches the role.
Co-development and publishing production across live-service titles, concept to scale.
On a new 2K Original IP I owned the full co-dev lifecycle: roadmap planning across partner teams, milestone governance, and payment structures on multi-million dollar development budgets.
The production that turns a plan into shipped content when the team isn't yours and the budget isn't either.
I own milestone schedules, deliverables, and dependencies across concurrent campaigns, and I build the workflow that keeps distributed teams and external partners in sync.
Complex, multi-stakeholder programs across platform integrations, partner compliance, and launches.
Advanced Certified Scrum Master driving agile adoption from the ground up and owning end-to-end delivery in fast-paced environments.
SIX YEARS, THREE STUDIOS
Led co-development on a new 2K Original IP from concept to scale. Shipped NBA 2K25 and 2K26 Arcade Edition with Apple, ran the WWE SuperCard x Street Fighter integration, and built intake workflows that cut revision cycles 30%.
Ran cross-functional delivery from Alpha through Soft Launch across Engineering, Design, Art, and QA on a distributed team of 60, over a six-month timeline with 12 sprints and stakeholders across four timezones.
Led a 15-person cross-functional team through pre-production, production, and launch on a first-person survival horror title built in Unreal Engine. Drove a launch program to 20,000 activations in the first week.
Titles I helped ship
NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition
A console-quality Arcade exclusive with Apple. Owned build certification, content standards enforcement, and storefront operations across the App Store from pre-launch through live service.
NBA 2K26 Arcade Edition
My second Arcade Edition title with Apple. Managed build submissions and partnered with Apple and creative teams to launch the title.
Abyss of Neptune
A first-person survival horror game built in Unreal Engine. Led a 15-person team from pre-production to launch and drove community and launch programs to 20,000 activations in the first week.
Production, out loud
The day to day of production and the frameworks behind it — what the work actually looks like when the team isn't yours, the budget isn't yours, and the deadline still is.
