Hi, I'm Kyle πŸ‘‹

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» About Me

I'm a UGC-focused Technical Lead and Software Engineer with hands-on experience across game development, platform engineering, and full-stack systems.

I currently work within the Fortnite UGC ecosystem, leading prototyping, innovation, and technical direction for scalable creator-driven experiences. I enjoy building systems that balance technical depth, player engagement, and long-term maintainability.

I’ve worked across startups, creator platforms, and enterprise environments β€” from shipping production web apps to leading UGC teams and advising on discovery strategy.
