Experience
Product Manager Engineer
Jan 2025 — Present · Oakland, CA, US
At Gameheads, I serve as the Product Manager and Engineer for a team developing a racing game in Unity. I handle most programming tasks alongside one other programmer, including in-engine development, bug fixing, and managing version control and merge conflicts through GitHub Desktop. On the production side, I facilitate brainstorming sessions in Miro, manage the production pipeline through Trello, and ensure alignment on project goals and timelines.I support my team by providing feedback, facilitating Unity/GitHub onboarding, and creating workflow templates while still empowering each department to lead their own creative direction. I also lead weekly progress presentations and organize community-building events such as team game nights. From organizing project files in Unity and Google Drive to ensuring smooth collaboration across roles, I oversee both the technical and production health of the project.
