AFK Arena Content Creator Camp

Creator Program Lead – Pitch, Launch, and Management

I pitched this idea to our staff, and upon approval, launched the Content Creator Camp. From initial strategy to execution, I oversaw all aspects of the program: setting up the Discord server, scouting and onboarding, defining rules, providing individual support, and coordinating with our various internal departments as necessary. This program has increased our high-quality user-generated content output nearly tenfold, and strengthened the connection and recognition between creators and the community.

Highlights

Successfully launched the program with 40 creators in the first cohort
Increased user-generated content output by over 900% over the first quarter
Provided a platform for creators to connect, share, and grow their channels together
Secured both in-game and real-world rewards for our creators

AFK Arena & Journey Community Platforms

Head Moderator & Community Manager

I manage our large-scale online communities across Reddit and Discord, focused on maintaining a positive, inclusive, and healthy space for players of all experience levels to engage in. I built our Subreddit communities from the ground up, custom scripted YAML automation, and provide daily moderation support to our users as necessary. Head overseer of our Moderation Team and acting as the bridge between our mods/players and the official side.

AFK Arena & Journey Feedback Initiatives

Pitch, Research, Discussion, and Implementation

Launched a new recurring public program for players to share their feedback and suggestions, and vote on each other's ideas. This not only allows us to gather valuable insights from our community, but allows us to see what the community views as highest priority while giving the community a shared voice that promotes discussion and development in a direction they are shaping.

Highlights

Pitched the idea to our team and secured approval for implementation
Gathered and organized suggestions, with our top 10 most voted receiving a public response from the team
Other top suggestions that didn't make the cut were still discussed and considered for future implementation

Technical Contributions & Support

Technical QA, Bug Reporting, and Code Review

While not within my usual scope of work, I have contributed to our development team by providing technical QA support, bug reporting, and code review. Bug reporting topics from the community is something I do on a regular basis, but there have been instances where I know exactly what to fix in the source code due to my programming background in univerity.

Highlights

Set up and streamlined an environment to share bug reports from the community to our dev team
Code reviewed and provided working solution adapted into published hotfix
Data Analysis: CLV/LTV, ARPU/DAU, lifecycle optimization goals, social media trends and performance, etc

Video Game SFX and Music Composition

Sound Designer, Engineer, and Music Composer

I grew up playing music from a very young age, and while I haven't been able to pursue that in a professional setting yet, it's still something I'm very passionate about, and would love to contribute towards, or at least explore further in a future role if given the opportunity. In university, I participated in a Game Jam where I made all of the SFX and composed three original tracks for the game.

Highlights

Created all SFX with a variety of tools and techniques, including digital audio workstations and field recordings
Composed three original tracks for the game via MIDI keyboard and DAW
