About Me



I am a 21-year-old who has recently graduated with a First in Multimedia Technology and Design at the University of Kent. I am an aspiring Game developer and have been since playing my first game. I am familiar with all genres on multiple platforms from as early as the Snes. My love of game creation started with board games as a child, making many dungeon and dragon style games. This turned digital when I was introduced to the 2D game creation software Rpg Maker . The rest progressed from here!

I am a self-taught programmer having started with learning Actionscript 2 at the age of 13. I am now familiar with a spectrum of languages which I am constantly practising in.

I enjoy working on self-managed projects, which has always been a hobby of mine. These projects can range from games, to applications, to mods and where mostly independent I have also worked within teams and played the role of project manager.

I am highly motivated and dedicated to my work and have a fine eye for making sure it is as perfect as it can possibly be. I am able to pick up skills quickly and enjoy the problem solving aspects of programming .I work well within a team and always aim to bring a positive work ethic and enjoy throwing myself into new and dynamic projects!
