Principal Producer / Lead Producer / Tech Producer

I've been working in games since 2008, taking on roles from testing and design to marketing, community and eventually production. For the last 9 years I've focused on game production, progressing from Producer to Lead Producer and Principal Producer. I enjoy understanding how all the moving parts fit together, spotting problems early and finding practical ways to keep teams moving without adding unnecessary weight.

As a Producer, I've spent the last nine years working across game production—from early vision and pre-production through milestone delivery, scaling, external development and post-launch support. I've led teams of 50+ developers, worked within larger organizations of up to ~200 developers across various time zones, and delivered projects on PC and console platforms.

I see production as a force multiplier. The role isn't to add process for its own sake, but to create the clarity and structure a team needs to move effectively. I look for risks before they become blockers, make dependencies visible, adapt production frameworks as projects evolve and remove friction that gets in the way of good work. The objective is simple — give talented people the environment they need to make great games and deliver them with confidence.
