Kurtis McCathern is a former Senior Software Engineer and principal server software engineer on World of Warcraft.[1] As of November 20, 2017, McCarthern moved off the Server Team to the WoW Shared Technology team. This means "less live focus, more long term structural change and cross team integration."[2] He left Blizzard in April 2023.
At the launch of Warlords of Draenor, McCathern worked "three days and nights" to create the first version of sharding, to alleviate realm stress during the expansion's launch.[3]
