Contributions

Owned a new PvE game mode's HUD end-to-end, presentation, data flow, and player-facing behavior, driving alignment across engineering and design on a critical player-facing surface.
Architected a reusable, texture-free, accessibility-friendly Reticle & Zoom system (10+ data-driven reticles with outline, transparency, and color settings) designed for cross-project reuse and adopted by a second Halo project.
Engineered a Frontend that scales across 13 shipping languages, covering CJK, Cyrillic, and multiple Latin locales through adaptive layout that absorbs text expansion without per-language rework.
Cleared UI certification across PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam by owning the platform-specific compliance work, notably the depth of Sony's TRC.
