Game Designer & Engineer

Game Designer
Killer Klowns From Outer Space is an asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game based on the original 1980s film.
During pre-release production, I contributed to gameplay systems and feature development, supporting the delivery of a polished multiplayer experience at launch.
My primary focus was on combat and player systems, where I designed and tuned player classes (stats, abilities, perks) alongside weapon and item balance. This work shaped the moment-to-moment gameplay dynamics and helped balance asymmetrical interactions between Klowns and Humans.
Through iterative balancing, I refined values and behaviors to improve fairness and readability, ensuring both sides maintained distinct identities while remaining competitively viable.

Havoc Hotel is a series of live service experiences built in Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), centered around repeatable, session based gameplay that combines roguelike progression systems with both PvE and PvP variants.
​
I owned the design, balancing, and oversight of core gameplay systems across multiple releases, including progression, core loops, session structure, and meta systems. Several features were fully owned end-to-end, from design through implementation and release.
The experience evolved iteratively as a live product, with each version refining systems and expanding scope based on player data, KPIs, and community feedback.
​
This included adapting core systems to a constantly evolving player base, while maintaining consistency, balance, and long-term retention.
