Experience
2023 and 2024
Systems Intern
I was hired as a Systems Design intern by Ambrus Studio, a AA startup led by Johnson Yeh (ex-executive producer at Riot Games) and staffed by veterans of the industry. I worked on the implementation of audio across the product, as well as wrote multiple specs for both gameplay and menus, such as an analysis of conflict distribution in mobile platform MOBAs. I also designed abilities and mechanics for three pre-existing characters as well as created one from scratch.
Working with a multi-lingual and highly efficient team gave me the opportunity to provide value and stretch my wings as a designer.
​
In 2024, I was rehired as a System Design Intern at Ambrus, and continued my duties in combat design and aided the team during the release window.
