About

Game designer specializing in multiplayer mode and systems design across casual party and vehicular hero-shooter projects (Oink Splash Party, Rivals Hover League), with hands-on UE5 Blueprint prototyping for a Souls-like combat loop (Medieval Silence). Known for playtest-driven iteration that fixes degenerate strategies and improves pacing/teamplay (e.g., core-meltdown, kill-confirmed/resurrection events, radar/minimap disruption), plus designing non-predatory progression systems blending battle pass, contracts, and level-up rewards.

Key Strengths

• End-to-end ownership of multiple multiplayer game modes across two shipped/production titles
• Rapid iteration from playtest findings to redesigned mechanics (e.g., Core Battle core-meltdown + passing to force teamplay)
• Strong systems thinking for balancing and anti-degenerate strategies (vehicle meta, pacing, spawn logic)
• Designing engagement/progression systems that balance paid battle pass with non-paid skill/time-based progression
• Clear prioritization framework for playtest feedback and bugs (critical blockers → 3Cs/param tuning → UX feedback like SFX/VFX/UI → minor issues)
• Cross-functional execution under constraints (scoping down complex features; coordinating map/art changes within sprint timelines)
• Thorough design documentation with explicit edge-case handling and implementation-oriented systems specs
