Associate Technical Director at Electronic Arts

As an Associate Technical Director at Electronic Arts, I’ve played a key role in shaping the technical landscape of Covet Fashion, working both as an individual contributor and as an engineering manager.

Working closely with the Technical Director, I’ve been involved in high-level discussions on project architecture and direction, making sure everything aligns with our goals and vision.

One of my main focuses has been addressing technical debt and improving player quality of life. This effort significantly reduced ANR (app not responding) issues on Android devices, leading to better app stability and performance.

The reduction in ANRs also got noticed by the Google Play Store, leading to feature opportunities that boosted revenue and improved player ratings by 0.5 stars, showcasing our dedication to delivering top-notch gaming experiences.

I’ve also been responsible for prioritizing the task backlog, defining scope, and sprint planning for the client engineering team. With careful planning and execution, we consistently met major milestones on time, ensuring timely delivery of game updates and features to our players.

My commitment to professional development and leadership is reflected in my completion of official scrum training and my role in guiding and mentoring a high-performing team of five client engineers. By setting individualized career paths and challenging professional goals, I fostered a culture of growth and excellence, resulting in zero employee turnover.
