Lead Developer & Scripter
MaxOut Studios
Lead the engineering side of the studio's Roblox portfolio; every title listed above ships under MaxOut Studios.
- Own the technical direction across the studio's live titles: architecture, code standards, and review for the scripting team.
- Design and ship core gameplay systems end to end: economy, progression, networking, and data persistence built to survive live traffic.
- Drive LiveOps: recurring content updates, balance passes, and telemetry-informed iteration on games already in players' hands.
- 2017 – 2026
Independent Roblox Developer
Freelance & Self-Directed R&D
Nine years of continuous Luau practice, with commissioned scripting work for creators alongside a steady pipeline of self-directed projects.
- Delivered contract scripting for independent creators and small studios, scoping and shipping features against real deadlines.
- Built personal projects as a deliberate proving ground for systems I later shipped professionally: frameworks, tooling, and gameplay prototypes.
- Built tooling and models that remove guesswork: a Perlin-noise previewer for tuning procedural terrain outside Studio, and Desmos-modelled weighted RNG with a luck factor for Incremental + RNG titles.
- Grew from single-file scripts to Rojo-based, framework-driven codebases (Knit, ECS), the foundation the lead role is built on.
