I am a passionate game developer that is looking to help change the world for the better. My experience as a self-taught programmer allows me to quickly take on knowledge and think logically to solve any problem that I face. From working in a small development team, I am able to work with others or independently to create a meticulous plan to achieve a desired goal.

My background in game development covers the past 5 years. The first year was spent teaching myself how to code and make games with Unity. I was then able to get my foot in the industry door with a 3-month-long internship for a serious games company. Upon seeing how quickly I was able to learn and take on new information, my employers decided to offer me a full time position as a junior developer.

During my time there, I worked as part of a small team (using Agile methods) to develop and expand on inspiring training games for entrepreneurs. I would work closely with design to realise client requirements before creating technical designs to aid with the actual coding of features.

At university, I obtained a bachelor of engineering degree in Computer Systems and Electronics. This course contained a mixture of hardware, software and communications that required a lot of hands on work to back up the theoretical concepts.
