Summary

My passion for game development started at the age of 4, when I would sit on my father’s lap and play computer games. Since then, I have been determined to pursue a career in game development and programming. As a recent graduate of Media Design School with a degree in Software Engineering, I am eager to work with like-minded individuals who can help me enhance my skills and knowledge within the gaming industry. I enjoy all forms of gaming and thrive in team environments, where I can communicate effectively with others and problem-solve to achieve desired solutions.

As a game programmer, I am enthusiastic about studying, analyzing, and creating video games. I have experience using coding languages such as C++ and collaborating with artists and game designers to bring ideas to life in the form of immersive, interactive worlds.
