As a Technical Designer at EA, my primary focus has been on making our systems faster and more reliable. Most of my work comes down to finding what slows us down and fixing it, whether that's cleaning up old logic, reworking an existing system, or designing something new that just works better. When someone says something isn't possible, that's usually where I get interested. I care about building things that last and making the team's job easier in the process.
