Hello! I’m Nick, a software engineer in the video game industry!

💼 Career Journey 💼

My First Job! - Jan 2026

I accepted an offer to begin as a Gameplay Programmer Intern at Epic Games! I will be working as an intern from March to June! Super excited!!!

I Graduated! - Dec 2025

I earned my Bachelors in Game Programming from the Academy of Art University. I pushed myself to do the best I could, and I can proudly say that I got an A in every programming class, finishing with a 3.88 GPA overall.

👾GAMES!👾

I love how games as an artistic medium have capacity to allow us to experience and explore worlds and perspectives beyond our own. I love the puzzles they present- crafting the perfect character build, finding all the juicy secrets and collectibles, spotting the patterns in a boss to defeat them. Each game is a new adventure, a new problem to solve, and a new experience to immerse myself in.

Games In Progress ⌛

Hollow Knight: Silksong
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (I have put 500+ hours into this game, but never got all of the achievements!).

🎨ART!🎨

Before programming, I had art. I was always drawing as a kid, and eventually I gained a nack for it. I applied and got accepted to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) with a scholarship. I still try to draw make art when I can as a hobby, but I found a new passion in programming!
