Commentary of some of my choices in my encounter design work in an area of the game called the "Corroded Silo"
During my time at Respawn Entertainment, I was privileged to work on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as an Encounter Designer. It was the responsibility of myself and my teammates to create engaging and challenging enemy encounters within the Star Wars universe; design fights to be fun to play through, to be of an appropriate difficulty, and to showcase game mechanics in novel and interesting ways; and script NPC and enemy behavior to create memorable narrative and world-building moments. We collaborated with other departments such as level design, writing, and animation in order to bring these moments to a AAA level of quality. Over the course of the game's development, I grew from doing spot-fixes and encounter passes of small areas to authoring entire levels’ encounter design and supporting bug fixes in post-launch updates.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was released on April 28th, 2023 for PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series. It would later come to Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
