About Me!

I'm a UK based game and application programmer who aims to solve challenging problems efficiently to a high standard and strives to write clean, readable code!

I graduated from the University of Lincoln with a 2:1 Degree in Games Computing in 2018. I am a driven and passionate learner who enjoys spending free time experimenting with different game engines and programming applications. My areas of interest include frontend programming, AI systems and procedural content generation. My ideal position would allow me to think creatively whilst working on developing a game.

I am a flexible team worker comfortable with taking initiative to achieve the task at hand, I am quick to identify and address issues and potential problems and will use opportunities to advance my knowledge of any given topic.

I am currently working as an Application Developer at Escape Fitness, a position I started in January 2019. I was brought onboard at Escape for my experience working in the Unity engine and have since been able to apply and develop my skills making myself an asset within the company as a front-end app developer. I am currently developing my first large scale project that is set to release towards the end of 2019.

Thank you for taking time to look at my portfolio!
