I am currently working at Epic Games as a UI Programmer, having joined in May 2023. So far I have mostly worked on LEGO Fortnite.
My responsibilities have included:
- Implementing full-screen widgets like the Village Management screen. This involved working with technical designers to gather the required data from various C++ systems and filling out a custom struct.
- Adding data replication to server-only systems to ensure data is available in client-side UI features.
- Ensuring that code works with the sizable existing Fortnite codebase.
- Improving workflow for team members (and the community at large) by adding quality-of-life improvements to Unreal Editor.
