Welcome to my portfolio
My name is Deep and I am currently working as an Associate Producer at Gearbox Software!
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.

I worked on this project as a production coordinator assisting the VFX and Audio teams with their milestone and sprint planning, backlog maintenance, burndown chart analysis and documentation. In addition, I frequently collaborated with the Tutorial and Fast Travel teams on their production efforts.
Souls of the Wind is a unique puzzle-based platformer set in a magical world that lives in balance with the four winds. But one day, the winds suddenly stop blowing - and you're the only one who can figure out why. Using your inborn powers to control the wind, you must save the Four Guardians who maintain the balance from an unknown corruption that creeps across the land before it is too late. Learn more about the game here.
As the sole producer of this project, I saw this project through concept, alpha, beta, gold and finally to shipping over the course of 10 months. Along with managing the sprint and product backlogs, onboarding new team members and collaborating on marketing efforts, I was also actively involved in deciding the direction and mechanics of the game. The game not only went on to have more than 20,000 downloads on Steam but was also a part of the Fall 2021 Student Showcase by Unreal Engine.
