Madden SE Generalist, Franchise · Switch 2, PS5, Xbox, PC

• Built the Persona Engine in Madden 27, bringing life to stale player interactions and coach negotiations in Franchise’s biggest update
• Shipped the data-driven systems the Persona Engine runs on, so designers author content without an engineer in the loop
• Squashed 50+ bugs in 3 months on College Football Mobile, taking work off an overloaded team as its newest engineer
• Reviewed code across both teams, unblocking engineers and keeping quality high while working asynchronously across time zones

Rotational Engineer @ Activision Central Tech

• Modernized the grapple gun for Black Ops 7, rebuilt off a dead engine for a new generation — one of the game’s most popular features
• Made the grapple data-driven, so any developer could build a variant without touching code — now used across game modes
• Delivered Shattered Veil for Black Ops 6 Zombies, clearing ~20% of the team’s bugs before launch — one of BO6’s best-received maps
• Extended player movement with unique rappelling system, every parameter tunable so designers iterate in minutes instead of build cycles

Rotational Engineer @ Activision Central Tech

• Built and owned a scalable, centralized query system in C++ that accesses game state, unlocking automation and testing
• Developed the tool that banned cheaters breaking into unreleased Black Ops 6 maps, stopping content leaks before launch
• Removed dependencies between large-scale multiplayer lobby and party code, improving performance on dedicated servers and clients
• Automated query boilerplate with code generation, working with developers 12 hours out so any team could add their own

FIEA Collegiate Game Jam · Unity

• 48 hours, team of four, three shipped games — Rapid prototyping, picking up: gameplay, animation, and audio; took 1st and 2nd place
