About

At Rockstar Games in Oakville, I contributed to Red Dead Redemption 2’s wilderness design and population systems, helping bring immersive gameplay to life. I love turning complex gameplay ideas into clean, playable experiences.

My career also includes automation testing and software QA work, plus formal training in video game programming and culinary management. I thrive in Agile teams, value clear communication, and enjoy mentoring teammates to ship polished, players-first features.
