Tay McElroy.

Technical Support Specialist | Game Producer & Project Manager

Hi! I'm Taylor. As a Platform Support Specialist with a focus on media and live streaming, I specialize in providing expert support while troubleshooting complex technical issues to ensure seamless client experiences. I thrive in environments where creativity and technical know-how intersect, and I aim to make every support interaction effortless and efficient!

With a background in interdisciplinary studies and game development, I approach challenges from multiple perspectives, combining technical expertise with creative problem-solving. My experience spans roles in both platform support and project management, where I’ve honed my skills in collaborative, cross-disciplinary teams and dynamic problem-solving. Previously, as an Admissions Coordinator, I developed strong organizational and process optimization skills, overseeing applicant documentation and streamlining workflows to improve efficiency.

I'm always interested in freelance game development projects, particularly in a production capacity. I’m excited to apply my technical and creative expertise to new collaborations, while continuing to expand my skills in game development and project management!
