MY RESUME

About

Learn about my journey

I am a Lead Level Designer with over seven years of experience building gameplay driven spaces across AAA co development and large scale live environments.

I have led high performing titles within Unreal Editor for Fortnite that reached millions of players worldwide, including a Top #1 experience within The Walking Dead Universe category, generating over 95.6 million minutes played. Designing at this scale sharpened my focus on retention, readability, pacing, and clarity under real player data and live iteration constraints.

Alongside live environment development, I have contributed to AAA co development as a Lead, helping define level direction and prototype unique IP concepts from early stage production. My work spans from structured blockouts and encounter design to full implementation, always prioritizing player agency and mechanical clarity.

I am particularly interested in how players interpret space, navigate environments, and make meaningful decisions through interaction. My approach balances systemic design with intuitive layout logic, ensuring that progression feels natural without sacrificing depth.

I thrive in long term projects where iteration, cross discipline collaboration, and strong design standards shape cohesive and memorable experiences.

Bachelor of Digital Game Development

2015 - 2019

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Digital Game Development, where I built a comprehensive understanding of the entire game production pipeline from programming and game design to 2D/3D art and final production. During the program, I contributed to the development of four complete game projects, gaining hands-on experience across multidisciplinary workflows.

Exchange Student of Digital Contents

2018/1 - 2018/2

I completed a five-month international exchange program in South Korea, specializing in 3D content creation. During this period, I gained hands-on experience with industry-standard tools such as ZBrush and 3ds Max, along with other 3D software, strengthening my expertise in modeling, sculpting, and the overall 3D production pipeline. This experience broadened my technical foundation while expanding my global perspective on digital content development.

CGMA - Level design for games

2025

This course was a valuable addition to my professional development as a level designer, with a strong focus on composition, environmental storytelling, and detailed greyboxing. It significantly enhanced the overall quality, readability, and narrative clarity of my levels.
