Nicholas Polchies

I am an indigenous programmer and game developer. I have a degree in computer science, 7 years of experience in IT, and over 20 credited projects on PC and mobile. I released a Unity app for iOS and Android with Fring Frang Games and over a dozen games with HomeTeam GameDev, both for web in JavaScript and for PC in Unity with C# and GLSL. I have experience both as a team member and a project leader managing a team of developers. I am currently in early development on a game using a custom engine. Below are some examples of my work.
