Get ready for Prey in just a few months! It’s my third professional game and a great sci-fi thriller adventure. Use your weapons, powers, and wits to help Morgan Yu find out what is taking place aboard the space station Talos I. This game has all the classic Arkane Studios elements and more!
The Game Awards 2016
The ZeniMax family was represented in a fantastic way at The Game Awards 2016. Both DOOM and Dishonored 2 won their respective categories, with DOOM winning Best Action Game and Dishonored 2 winning Best Adventure Game. Not to mention, DOOM won best Music/ Sound Design for its amazing soundtrack developed by the legendary Mick Gordon.
As a team member for both of these games it’s truly a great feeling to see our fans showing so much support for our games. The hard work pays off, and we’re so happy to bring our best each and every year.

Certified Scrum Master
Over the weekend, I took a course in order to become a Certified Scrum Master through Scrum Alliance. The course was taught by David Bulkin, and I have to say he was an excellent teacher. We discussed the benefits of using Scrum workflow in the workplace, the Scrum Master’s role in a Scrum Team, and how to best perform as a servant leader for your team. Following the course we were allowed to take a test for our certification, and I passed! Here is my certification page.

Hired at Bethesda Softworks
Today I begin my first day as a Quality Assurance Tester for Bethesda Softworks. I am extremely eager to begin my professional career, and to work alongside the excellent designers at Bethesda and ZeniMax. I can’t wait to learn about the intricacies and workflow of AAA game developers. I’m extremely thankful for this opportunity!
Graduation
What can I say about the last 4 years? It’s just impossible to sum it all up in just a few lines. From my time on Washington 3rd to these last few semesters grinding away at graduation, I can only say that I had a blast. I can’t thank GMU, the faculty, my friends, my colleagues, and my family enough for all of the support given and the lessons taught. I know now more than ever that this industry will never be boring and I’m going to love my job. I’m so happy to be a GMU Computer Game Design Alum and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us!
