Dive into the buzz surrounding my work! Hear it straight from the pros I've teamed up with along the way
Definitely consider Zé if you’re looking for a seasoned producer. In just one year Zé helped us bring 2 mobile games from early production to being successfully launched. He was able to juggle numerous external development partners across both titles with ease. We certainly didn’t make things easy for Zé, there were some big pivots and shakeups in the development and staffing of these titles, but he took everything in stride. ”
Zé is one of the most dedicated professionals I’ve worked with. He’s willing to go the extra mile, constantly eager to learn and always gets the job done. When dealing with a challenge, he’ll overcome it coming up with new ways to achieve results. No matter where he decides to do next, these two things are for sure: the company will be lucky to have him on the team and he will do an awesome job while creating a fun and light atmosphere. ”
Zé is in an ultra rare and wildly valuable role that I call the Creative Producer. Someone who knows how a job gets done and can keep creatives motivated and on track while also helping the rest of the team plan the job out and on budget.”
Zé work has this playful vibe that just grabs you and brings you in - he's also very curious and an excellent communicator. I love artists who always try to level up and tackle cooler projects, and Zé is absolutely that type of individual.”
I had the pleasure of working with Zé as a Producer at Uken during his 15 month contract with us. We worked together on multiple titles including Jeopardy: World Tour, Puzzle Solitaire and Ava’s Manor. Zé is detail oriented with a developed sense of urgency and is knowledgeable in project management processes. He is very responsive to requests and development changes, he is able to pivot his planning quickly if needed and also provides very insightful feedback. I would consider myself lucky to work with Zé again in the future.”
