Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Phister is a French-American game engine programmer with 10 years of experience, currently Co-Lead Engine Programmer at DONTNOD in Strasbourg. He brings deep C++ and object-oriented design expertise honed both in industry—building and maintaining in-house engines for PC and consoles—and in academia as a former C++ teacher and head of curriculum at Epitech. Nicolas combines hands-on engine development, server administration and systems maintenance with a knack for tooling automation, having written automatic graders and verification tools for student and company projects. Fast-learning and comfortable across languages and environments, he’s equally at home debugging low-level engine features as designing maintainable OOP architectures.
