I inherited the Competitive Systems that has been left static since its inception in Season 2. Without little support and supervision, I drove creating engaging metasystems for Apex Legend's most popular game mode.

Led a phenomenal team of data scientists and analysts to validate our hypothesis and tackle fairness. We correlated game fairness to enjoyment, confirmed a skill model for the Battle Royale, and pitched a new matchmaking algorithm. Collaborating with engineering partners, we built and launched the matchmaking system alongside a corresponding competitive system, resulting in clear increases in match intensity with a minimum impact on wait time.

Hypothesis: Fair and hard earned matches are more fun.

Solution: Incorporate Player Skill into matchmaking algorithm; Instead of a discrete ranking based approach, dynamically adjust match fairness approach based on incoming player population to optimize for matchmaking time.
