About
Game economy/progression designer who owned the end-to-end progression system for an idle auto-battler (“Non-Order”), including multi-currency sources/sinks, upgrade pricing curves, and meta-progression. Uses spreadsheet modeling plus playtest/telemetry-driven iteration to address pacing and agency issues (e.g., adding a minigame, click-to-damage, and player skill tree) to reduce progression friction and improve replayability.
