Systems Intern (2023/2024)
Game Designer (2025 - Present)
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 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 2025 I was hired on full time as a game designer, working on both an SLG game marketed towards the west as well as a line of narrative experiences geared towards niche communities.
