I build the systems that ship AAA games, and the teams that want to ship the next one.
Abby LeMaster, producer at Riot Games. 10+ AAA titles shipped.
Outcomes, not adjectives.
From 18 to 12 months
Legends of Runeterra’s development cycle, cut by a third. Four expansions a year plus live balance, for a 40+ person org, through a company restructuring.
100+ person R&D org
Running on the execution scaffolding I architected: Jira schemas, dependency systems, release gating and long-horizon prioritization.
6+ orgs aligned
On risks, priorities and triage through a multi-year development, with playtests that shaped pre-production.
40+ developers
Kept shipping, and kept their psychological safety, through quarters of leadership churn.

On stage.
Keynotes and panels at DevGAMM, Misk Global Forum, SINFO, Forbes 30/50, Game Access, SDCC and WonderCon.
I write about the messy, human side of shipping work that matters.
Let’s talk.
