About This Site
GameDevProducer is my working handbook — frameworks, templates, and production practices built from real experience shipping games at scale. Everything here comes from the trenches: leading cross-functional teams, managing live operations across platforms, and navigating the chaos that sits between creative vision and shippable product.
14+ years in production, project management, and SDLC across game software and platform development, working daily in Jira, Perforce, Git, Claude, and ChatGPT, with data analysis in SQL, Google Analytics, and user studies. Certified ScrumMaster (CSM #487642).
