What is Fortnite
Is a third person shooter reaching 44.7 million players in 2023.
Challenges
Ramping up to a multi-disciplinary team of thousands, for a project that had been in development 10 years before my arrival.
The Tomato
I was challenged to enable this tomato to splash heal allies and enemies within the week.
I finished this task within a few hours.
The Ray Gun
The ray gun was a hit across the Simpsons experience. We had an issue where the ray gun would randomly stick to the target even when the activating player wanted to disengage. Solved by increasing range of net relevancy for target until ability deactivated.
The Donut Storms
I spent a majority of my time on Simpsons experience solving replicated physics and net relevancy issues down to just a few days before release.
NDA - A new TOP SECRET project through a client with Epic.
NDA and nda because NDA be NDAs. Very challenging to NDA but greatness was achieved through NDA. Might not be Simpsons, but also not released. NDA
Fortnite + Simpsons Trailer
The November 2025 Fortnite x The Simpsons collaboration was a massive success, featuring a cel-shaded Springfield map, over 12.4 million players interacting with the "couch" feature, and 15 million TikTok searches in one week. Key locations included the Nuclear Power Plant and Krusty Burger.
