About

Game/technical designer with live-service ownership at Wargaming (World of Tanks) driving KPI-based monthly events and engagement loops via data-informed reward tuning. Recently shipped Batman Arkham Shadow by automating a narrative pipeline that converted script-graph dialogue into a string library, cutting weeks of work down to hours under aggressive deadlines. Experienced rapid prototyping in UE4 (including AI-driven mode logic) and cross-functional alignment practices.
