Worked on the "super app" mission that powers 3P developers to build engaging experience for Snapchatters inside Snapchat app. I steered the product strategy, roadmap, and go-to-market, shaping gaming into a core pillar of Snap’s developer ecosystem.

This involved meticulous localization, robust production, and the integration of impactful social and monetization features. Further amplifying player engagement and expanding community reach, I co-led the development of a comprehensive mobile companion application.
