Reverse-chronological. Infrastructure, automation, and a stint where the job was talking to people instead of machines.

Designed a deterministic automation pipeline that replaced an entire operations team's manual workload — reproducible, auditable, and roll-back-safe.

A studio founded with former Blizzard colleagues. Game systems and the infrastructure that kept them running; frequent presentations to leadership.
