Background

About Kevin McDaniel

I'm a contents director for video game guides and walkthroughs at Game8, one of Japan's top game guide websites. I manage teams of content writers to complete projects spanning multiple months, while also delivering performance evaluations, coordinating with HR on work schedules, and handling issues when they arise. I also have to be able to analyze the market and report to superiors on project status, completion rate, and performance against goals like PVs, P/S, SERP ranking, and market share percentage. Previously, I worked as a backend engineer at Kotozna Inc. I worked on the design and development for an in-house application used to manage manual translation of menu items for the TripNScan application. I designed the GUI and RESTful API to interact with relational DB via MySQL, and implemented the backend in PHP. I also worked on development for the KotoznaChat application in node.js, building a connection to messaging services including Facebook Messenger, LINE, and WeChat via API endpoints.
