Fortnite: Battle Royal (2024 - Present)
About
I joined the FN Battle Royal team in late 2024, joining the seasoned (pun not intended) seasonal BR gameplay team.
Working on a pretty tight schedule we worked to support design and implemenet new gameplay features (level, weapons, character abilities, interactions and events) on a pretty tight seasonal cadence.
- Developing seasonal gameplay features
- Maintaining and upgrading evergreen functionality
- Becoming comfortable with jumping into basically any area of a huge codebase
- Debugging issues down to the engine ASHDSIDNSKDN
- Developing tools for ASDOFHIDSGIDNBGD
- Managing SAFSFS
- Optimizing SADSD

Fortnite x Fall Guys
(2023 - 2024)
About
In early 2023 I joined the small Mediatonic team which had been formed to see if it was possible to port a Fall Guy's character (affectionately known as 'the bean') to Fortnite.
Over the course of 18 months, the company imploded, the team grew and in June 2024 we released a fully functional Bean character into the Fortnite eco system (in both a BR event and UEFN).
I'm immensely proud of this project and being able to hold my own in this team of stars.

About
I helped out briefly about a year into CSR3 pre-production. Primarily research and development on getting multiplayer stood up and helping out with getting the game's physics engine produce deterministic results.
I'm not sure how much of my work still exists in the game but it was a fun little period.
