About

I'm a Front-End Engineer passionate about building user interfaces that balance thoughtful design, seamless functionality, and high performance.

Over the years, I’ve developed software across a range of industries—from automotive agencies, and ecommerce start-ups to interactive game development. I'm currently seeking new opportunities where I can continue to grow and make an impact.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me at concerts, watching TV shows or sports, lifting weights, gaming, or spending time with my wife and our dog, Teddy.

Projects

  1. Silent Hill: Ascension

    Silent Hill: Ascension was an interactive streaming series where the audience influenced the story in real time using Influence Points earned through engagement or a season pass. Viewers shaped narrative decisions, participated in live character survival events, and could even win cameo roles that became canon in the Silent Hill universe.

    • Redux Toolkit
  2. The Walking Dead Last Mile

    The Walking Dead: Last Mile was a massively interactive live experience where millions of fans shaped the evolving story of a coastal Alaskan community through daily gameplay and weekly live streams. By earning and bidding Influence Points, players made critical decisions, created their own survivors, and even impacted who lived or died—leaving a permanent mark on the official Walking Dead canon.

  3. PayloadCMS - Internal CMS Tool

    Headless CMS implemented to replace error-prone Google Sheets for internal data management. This shift empowered game producers and directors to safely create and update in-game JSON data for specific features through a user-friendly interface, significantly reducing errors while storing assets securely via AWS S3 and CDN integration.
