In over 15 years I acquired vast knowledge in the field of game design and development. I worked on all game genres, types and platforms. I had the pleasure to lead teams of all sizes from 5 up to and over 100 people, as Game Director, Creative Director and Lead Game Designer. I worked intimately with most 3D game engines like CryEngine3, Unity3D and Unreal4. I created game maps, rules, designs, narratives, characters, cutscenes, stories, storyboards, blockouts, whiteboxes and worked with full teams to make sure the end product is the best it can be. I worked on large state-of-the-art games and tight budgeted projects where efficiency is the name of the game, with more then 30 successful game projects completed. From creating the concept, story, lore, characters and dialogues, to hiring the whole team including game designers, artists (2D, 3D and Animators) and programmers (client and server side), and lead them through the entire game development process from concept, to prototype, to production and beta version, and finally launch of the game. I also direct all outside contractors like sound designers, composers, voice actors and video editors. I'm usually in-charge of the entire game budget, including all salaries, bonuses and other expenses, making sure the entire game is delivered from conception to launch in the most efficient way possible onto all platforms and in all genres - to a financial success.
