Summary
I am an enthusiastic, thorough and creative Independent Game Developer and Freelance Video Editor. As a recent Creative Computing Masters Graduate, with high marks and grades across all modules, that has led me to have a strong set of skills and a strong understanding of the Games Industry along with a big passion to be apart of the industry.
In previous occupations I have proven that I am trustworthy, punctual, hard working and capable to work both independently and in a team.
I am also confident in identifying and understanding a problem and working and communicating effectively under time constrained pressure.
During my degree's I have impressed not only lecturers but also companies with my ideas, prototypes and games with new concepts and ways to tackle unique and creative challenges.

Hobbies and Interests
Gaming
I am a keen gamer in my spare time and spend a considerable amount of time playing and understanding games.
I am a big fan of co-op puzzle games, strategy games and VR games which is where I get a lot of my inspiration for projects.
Game Developing
Since finishing my Master's degree I have continued with several of my projects from my Master's degree. I have take the constructive criticism and feedback I received for my projects and decided with my free time to improve my skills and learn more about certain systems. Learning more about SteamVR and its alternative UnityXR, Unity's particle system and Unity's animation and animator system to make myself a more rounded developer. I spend a lot of time ideating around concepts, mechanics and storylines to form a basis for new projects. Whenever I click to an idea I will spend a chunk of time expanding the idea and the possibilities the idea could turn into.
Online Community Manager
For several years I have help build an online community for an online entertainer from the ground up. I help maintain and run the community by providing technical support, problem solving situations that arise, host and run large events and communicate with the other community managers to resolve issues. I also run the entertainers TikTok account to help expand the community by reaching out on a new platform and have seen growing success to this account.
