Seasoned game producer, designer, and product manager with passions in new IP development, game product design, monetization, BI / analytics, and studio operations. Masterful in "connecting the dots"​ from big data analytics, business operations, to the core product experience. Rarely satisfied with the status quo and look for ways to bring more value into any product, organization, and process. Customer experience is my core passion and data provides insight to make better experiences for gamers. The following are my core philosophies in game development: * Production - Ship the game on time and on budget while ensuring everyone is having fun. * Design - Always present meaningful choices for gamers. * Product - Prioritize engagement / retention over revenue. Fun is the most important KPI. * QA - Quality is inversely related to risk. At the end of the day, I'm a straight-forward producer and product manager who loves to play and make games. I strive to help others achieve their potential and make fun stuff. Games are my passion. I have 100K+ Gamerscore on Xbox Live and play FFXI, League of Legends, and World of Tanks daily. I also manage a few DS and mobile games in between. Please feel free to shoot me an invite on my handle on any of the gaming services: [Wibbletaru] See you online!
