CI Games is an independent, global Video Games Developer and Publisher, with studios in Warsaw, Barcelona, Bucharest and the US. Founded in 2002, they've been creating globally recognized titles for over twenty years

Lords of the Fallen 2 is my current project, where I work as the Lead Systems Designer.  My team consists of six designers, where we manage the systems of the title holistically working across multiple strike teams on everything from RPG features, to UI/UX, Narrative, and critical USPs like Umbral.  I cast a very wide net at CI, and I'm proud of what the team has managed to accomplish! 

I look forward to discussing it more here once the game has released!

Wargaming needs no introduction, boasting massively successful franchises such as World of Tanks.  Its latest venture, Steel Hunters, was a tactical hero shooter featuring futuristic mechs.

I worked on Steel Hunters at Wargaming for two years as the Lead Systems designer and played a variety of roles I'm quite proud of.  I served as the line manager for designers ranging in seniority from Associate to Principal, did the design, prototype, and implementation of several features and spearheaded several studio initiatives around our design and content creation processes.

As the lead designer of the Systems team, we sat in the middle of all the other feature teams.  I had to coordinate carefully with stakeholders across the company and implemented much of our 3Cs work, coordinated with.  There's too much to summarize here, so please check out the page!

Electric Square's mission is to provide gold-standard game development expertise for outstanding partners on headline IP.

I did a brief stint working as a Senior Game Designer at Electric Square, where I was lucky enough to get the chance to contribute to the Lords of the Fallen.

My role on that project was Co-Dev Support, and specifically I owned a handful of enemies and a few of the bosses - The Sundered Monarch and Harrower Dervla, the Pledged Knight.  I worked under the direction of the Lead Game designer to create new attacks, set up enemy BPs, create new AI behaviors and make sure they were configured correctly so they would work within the systems of the rest of the game.

Bossa is a small studio with big ideas that strives to make the greatest cooperative experiences on the market.  As a studio it values originality, passion, openness, and it attracts both doers and dreamers.

At Bossa I've spent most of my time working on prototypes for the studio's next big thing and had the opportunity to learn from a lot of wonderful people.  As the acting lead Designer it was a great way to not only continue to refine my normal game design skills, but build up a host of leadership oriented ones I'll take with me for the rest of my career.

Splash Damage was born from competitive online games and we've carried that spirit with us. From three friends coding in a bedroom we're now more than 300 friends creating genre-leading AAA experiences in some of the world's most beloved franchises, along with our own unique creations.

On Splash I've worked on a glut of projects - some have made it to the wider world, some are still in development, and some have unfortunately been shelved.  But while there I've worn a host of different hats and done everything from the design and implementation of AI, core gameplay mechanics, pipeline and content creation, paper and digital prototyping, and mentoring and hiring of other Tech Designers.
