Senior🎓
Top SchoolNitish Victor is an engine and graphics programmer with 13 years of experience, currently working on the Unreal Engine console team at Epic Games in San Francisco. He brings deep C/C++ and shader expertise across DirectX 11/12, HLSL/PSSL, Unreal Engine 4/5 and console platforms (PS4/PS5, Xbox One/XSX), paired with a practical background in performance and memory optimization from his work on The Sims 4. His career blends game-engine engineering with cloud and tooling experience from Microsoft and EA—spanning Azure IoT, Service Fabric, real-time ML inference, and large-scale data lifecycle systems. Nitish’s academic foundation (M.S. in Game Design & Development, RIT) informs his data-oriented approach to performance, and he has repeatedly reduced frame times, load times, and build times in shipping titles. Notably, he moves comfortably between low-level engine work and higher-level platform/tooling, which helps him solve cross-cutting performance and scalability challenges for consoles and live services.
