From 2010-2016 I focused on independent film production, and news journalism, which gave me advanced skills in cinematography, and worldly knowledge/experience, having gone on multiple international tours and produced my own films for international distribution via Global Genesis Group whom I met at the American Film Market.

From 2016 to the present day, I have been focused 100% on Unreal Engine - whether working on my own game, freelancing, or working full time for AAA corporations.
I have experience with Jira and other Agile task-based or waterfall deadline-based management strategies. I am fluent with Perforce, Git, and other Source Controls.
I have decades of team-lead and management experience, and I’m great at both respecting, and expecting the best from my digital-only colleagues!
