Current Projects

I led the production efforts of the live lifetime of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands from the release of the first PLC to the automation of the project, collaborating with designers, engineers, marketing, and QA. I was also responsible for partnering with another studio to be the solo producer on their animation and cinematic teams for an unannounced project. After a short stint on Borderlands 3 Switch near its release window, I am currently working on Risk of Rain 2 driving their DLC and live content roadmap plannings, development, and releases.
