Brittany Thibodeaux

I’m a C++ software engineer with 6 years of experience shipping AAA titles, comfortable owning features end to end—from scoping and design through server-side work, legacy integration, and production delivery. I’ve built a track record of extending complex systems without breaking stability, while moving quickly through unfamiliar codebases.

In my most recent role, I designed and shipped a complete game mode feature that required new server-side logic, AI behavior integration, and a custom manager layer on top of legacy trigger and scenario systems. I routinely debug across gameplay logic, UI, spatial systems, and networking under release pressure, and I’ve taken direct ownership of a proprietary design-facing scripting tool to enable faster iteration.

I also bridge server and client by implementing server-side logic in Python for a run-in feature—ingesting design-authored data, calculating per-match likelihood, participant selection, and timing, then packaging results back to the client. Beyond gameplay, I’ve maintained and extended C++ UI architecture (including custom UI components in a modified Unreal Engine 4 environment), authored TDDs, negotiated feature scope across departments, and mentored junior engineers through a 12-week incubator.
