About Me / CV

I am a hard working and motivated games programming university student in my final year. With a passion for games and the technologies powering them and the core knowledge required for designing and implementing gameplay and systems in both custom and commercial game engines, as a winner of DARE Academy 2024, I have experience working in teams to bring games to life.

My hobbies and interests include gaming, socialising, exercise, travelling and the great outdoors.
