At Kano, I have been working to help develop their latest mobile game, Fubar. The game is an idle style mobile game based off of the Canadian cult-classic film Fubar. Some of the aspects of the game that I worked on during the project include the cutscene tool, tutorial system, automated build system, automated asset importers, IAPs, analytics, rendering optimizations, and various gameplay features.

Jul 2017 - May 2018
As a producer at Dreamcraft, I managed and organized the day-to-day operations of the R&D projects. I worked with stakeholders to design a product that fit their needs and requirements. I created project plans in conjunction with the senior developers to identify risks. I worked with the development team throughout production to ensure that the project ran smoothly and was in line with requirements. Sometimes I would also roll up my sleeves and help out with technical art tasks. I found it beneficial to work side by side with the developers during production as it helped me stay informed about the project. I found it helped create a more fluid relationship between development and management that I believe is the key to creating high-quality content quickly, efficiently, and consistently.

Two of the highlights of my time at One Bit were working on projects such as virtual reality gaming, and R&D for the Microsoft Hololens. We later transitioned to building a prototype VR amusement ride that would lay the groundwork for what would become Dreamcraft Attractions. One Bit brought me onto their team early in my career and I will be forever grateful to them for providing the opportunity for me to dive into the deep end of technical development. During my time there, I was surrounded by awesome teammates that shared their knowledge and experiences at the perfect time in my career.
