ABOUT ME
I’m a competitive player and systems thinker passionate about understanding what makes games feel rewarding, fair, and skill-expressive. My experience spans multiple PvP titles, including Grandmasters in League of Legends and Rank 1 in Blade & Soul. I focus on observing and analyzing gameplay systems, identifying patterns, and exploring ways mechanics interact — all with the goal of understanding how games can engage and challenge players at every level..
Presentations
You’ll find two presentations here: my latest main showcase, which best represents my current standards, and a second one I built in a single day for a sudden hiring opportunity. Though it was made fast, it still demonstrates strong insight and adaptability.

Goal
My goal is to leverage my competitive experience and analytical understanding of gameplay systems to contribute meaningfully to engaging, balanced, and skill-expressive mechanics.

I’m passionate about exploring how mechanics interact at scale and how subtle design decisions influence player behavior. My aim is to bring insight, collaboration, and a player-first perspective to every project, helping craft experiences that are both fun and fair, while continuously learning and growing alongside my peers.
Presentation guide:
• Main/Recent Presentation: Covers a lot of systems/design details from League of Legends to MMO - Contains information about me and my studying process and how I’m passionate about design.
• Older Presentation: Focused on MEL (League of Legends champion), created quickly under a tight deadline - still highlights design thinking and adaptability. (League of Legends focused)
Vision
I believe the future of games lies in meaningful complexity -worlds and systems that reward smart play. I want to be part of the teams building that future - where competitive systems are crafted with precision, empathy, and innovation.

Information about me
I grew up chasing mastery in every competitive title I played - from reaching Grandmasters in League of Legends to top-ranked PvP in Blade & Soul, Black desert online and more. Those experiences taught me how balance, clarity, and emotional payoff shape a player’s long-term relationship with a game.
As a designer, I apply that same mindset: thoughtful iteration, clear purpose, and the constant drive to make every decision feel impactful.
