I am, regrettably, available to make your game better as a designer. Looking for senior, principal, or lead roles on games that want to leverage my leadership, systems, progression, technical, live service (and more) background. Unfortunately, relocation from Orange County is not an option.

Also big props to whoever did the high level map design for the new FO 76 patch. Having a bunch of unmarked mini-POIs that you can't fast travel to in which you can scatter the Abraxodyne cases around does a lot to bring genuine exploration in a way that's hard to sustain for a live service game

Whoever is writing the Battlefield 6 patch notes is doing a tremendous job. It's a great balance of technical changes and commentary or summation that is just the right level of detail and context.

hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires
