About

Hi! I'm Cody, a game development generalist with 14 years of professional experience having helped shipped dozens of titles for developers like Bungie, 2K, Playground, Rocksteady, Gearbox, Meta and more. I have served at the senior and lead level across multiple disciplines including hard-surface, environments, production, and external development. Known for bridging creative vision with technical execution, improving production pipelines, mentoring artists, and solving complex development challenges. Passionate about building strong teams, delivering exceptional player-facing content, and helping projects ship successfully.

Once referred to as a "white blood cell" of the team, I maintain a reputation as an effective problem solver across disciplines. My artistic roots are in 3D environments, but I've been fortunate enough to provide support and learn multiple facets of making games. If you need a Swiss Army knife of development, particularly in Unreal Engine, let's talk.
