Owain Iorwerth Jones

CompSci Graduate

Summary

I am a graduate with a 1st Class BSc in Computer Science and Philosophy from Keele University, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Leeds. This multidisciplinary background has enhanced my skills of critical thinking and problem solving, which I am now eager to apply to the field of software development. My academic experience has included system lifecycle development, machine learning, and simulation. I am a native speaker of both English and Welsh. I enjoy using my programming skills for creative endeavours, such as creating modifications (mods) which add new features to PC games and releasing them to the community. One of my mods, made for the sci-fi strategy/colony management game RimWorld, was created using a combination of XML scripting and C# programming, and has received positive reviews and nearly 8000 downloads from the game’s community. In addition to programming I enjoy developing other computer-based creative skills: I am a self taught user of the Unity game engine, and I have experience with the 3D modelling software Blender, 2D image manipulation software GIMP, and digital painting in Krita.
