👤
SeniorJosh Engebretson is a seasoned technical leader with over 25 years in systems programming and engine architecture, currently shaping developer platform strategy at Epic Games in Cary, NC. He blends deep C++ engine expertise with large-scale distributed systems work, evolving from core Unreal Engine runtime and Editor internals to founding the Horde distributed compute platform. Josh has repeatedly built production-ready engines and tooling as a serial co-founder, from indie MMOs to the Atomic Game Engine used across industries and platforms.
