Hi, I'm Nikolai Ekimov, a passionate C++ and Unreal Engine programmer based in Germany. I enjoy working on challenging game projects, especially within the AAA and AA game development spheres, where I can contribute to VFX systems, UI programming, and system implementations. With a background in business informatics and sociology, I bring a well-rounded perspective to software development and project execution. I'm fluent in English and Russian, and intermediate in German. When I'm not coding, I'm often running marathons or exploring new technologies to enhance my skills. I’m always excited to connect with others in the industry and explore opportunities to collaborate on innovative projects.
