Profile: https://flows.cv/nickchirico

I'm currently working as a software engineer in the financial products space since Dec 2022. I am most interested in game design, and and looking for opportunities in the game development industry.

I graduated from NYU Tisch's Game Center BFA program where I got to work and collaborate with some amazing people to make games in Unity (C#) and Unreal (C++) game engines. I've made a number of games, for which I am the lead programmer and designer. I'm adept in a variety of languages (Java, Python, C/C++, C#) and code environments, as well as productivity tools like Jira, which I've learned is secretly the greatest tool ever. and It's been amazing working together with such talented designers and artists, and I really love facilitating ideas to make a product that can both deliver on requirements as well as create an enjoyable player/user experience.
