Product Manager, Xbox One Engineering Team, Microsoft | 2015-2016

The Vision

Bring Xbox's best social and content creation features to Windows 10 PC gaming. My focus was continuing my work on Game DVR, Trending, and sharing—making it seamless for PC gamers to capture, edit, and share their best (or worst) gaming moments.

What I Built

Game DVR for PC Windows 10 tapped into Xbox One's most popular features, letting PC gamers record, edit, and share clips from any game with the click of a button. Whether gloating about exploits or reviewing plays for improvement, capturing moments became effortless.

Cross-Platform Sharing Players could upload local game clips and screenshots from Windows Store games directly to Xbox Live, appearing on their Activity Feed for friends to see. Non-Windows Store game captures were accessible locally through Game DVR folders.

Summer 2016 Major Updates:

• Professional Video Editing - Export GameDVR clips (from Xbox One or PC) to any video editor, then upload finished montages back to Xbox Live through the Xbox app

• Streamlined Management - New profile-based capture management for sharing, uploading, and tracking queue progress

• 60 FPS Recording - "Very High" quality setting enabled 60fps game clip recording via Game bar (Windows + G), upgrading from 30fps

• Twitter Integration - Direct sharing of clips and screenshots from Xbox Live to Twitter

My Impact

Designed the tools that transformed PC gaming from a solitary experience into a social, shareable one—bridging Windows 10 and Xbox ecosystems while giving creators the flexibility to use professional editing tools.
