Summary

I'm a final-year BSc (Hons) Computer Games Technology Student, having just returned from a placement year at a VR development company. I'm skilled in multiple programming languages, such as C++, C#, Python and GDScript. I also have experience using multiple APIs, such as OpenGL and DirectX. In my free time, I indulge creative work, such as 2D illustration and character design in Clip Studio Paint. I'm great working in a team, and my wide breadth of knowledge means I can easily communicate with different members of a team without anything getting lost in translation.

Interests

I adore games- I love both console and PC, and have a special attachment to handhelds, as I grew up with a few different ones. I collect them currently, as well as game art books, and play some games competitively. If I'm not working on a game, I'm playing one or talking about them with my friends. I also love vocal synths and music and hope to, in the future, be able to implement them both in my games.
