Jonathan Fritz

Technical Director · Maxis / EA

In my current role, I lead a small team that is building the online services and internal tooling for an upcoming game in The Sims franchise.

I’ve spent the past fifteen years building web services, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure across gaming, enterprise, and aerospace. I learned something valuable in every position, and I bring a hard-won perspective to the work that I do. These days, I spend my time trying to make other people more productive: setting technical direction, reviewing architecture proposals, hiring and mentoring engineers, and translating backend-specific context into language that other disciplines can engage with.

Outside of the office, I’m a husband and father. In my spare time, I play guitar in a cover band, collect vinyl, and spend more money than I probably should on guitar pedals and concert tickets.
