Notable titles I've worked on: Overwatch 2, Prey 2017 & Prey: Mooncrash, Simcity 2013 & Simcity: Cities of Tomorrow, Resident Evil 4 VR, and the original Rooster Teeth television show Gen:Lock season 1. For a short time in 2015, I created some vanity mods for Cities Skylines supporting myself via Patreon. I've also made mod contributions to Counterstrike 1.6, Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos, and Starcraft Broodwar.
