  When I left King I was a Senior Systems Designer on Candy Crush Saga. While on Candy 1 I was in charge of design for Candy Crush All Stars UK (+~12% GB), Star Tournament (+~13% GB for EoC Players) and reworking the Score System for clarity and consistency while ensuring that there was no need for a massive rebalance of star thresholds.I was a Senior Systems Designer on Candy Crush Friends Saga. I designed live ops that created some of the highest sustained uplift in Gross Bookings in Candy Crush series history. I worked across multiple teams ensuring that the vision of the project was maintained and that all systems and subsystems work together to create an optimal player experience. I was the Systems Designer on Call of Duty Mobile and lead the creation of our innovative meta design including documentation and earning buy in from stakeholders. I lead the charge to develop our unique game mode. I was in charge of designing the pipeline for our modular weapons systems and balancing said weapons.

  • Jun 2014 - Jan 2018

  I was in charge of systems design on Call of Duty Online. That includes just about everything systems related from weapon balance and creation, challenges, perks and killstreaks to XP, economy balancing and more. I've optimized spawning logic, created an FX system that allows weapons to turn enemies into goo, worked on maps and even created a few FX of my own (using existing assets with some tweaks). I've worked closely with tools programmers to help streamline significant pipeline issues reducing tasks that used to take days into tasks that take minutes.

  • Dec 2006 - Aug 2008

  I was the tester who found the obscurest of the obscure bugs. I learned a lot about how to find and then accurately reproduce bugs, write up a solid bug report, and when words couldn't accurately describe the problem, recorded video. In UI I was a member of one of the best teams I've ever seen. I worked predominantly in Flash/Actionscript but had to tie data into the engine as well..
