About Me
Software Engineer / Game Programmer.
Eager and adaptable game programmer with 4 years of hands-on development experience across Unreal Engine, Unity, and Roblox, gained while studying at Staffordshire University and while participating in game jams. I thrive on building immersive, interactive systems — from inventory logic and UI synchronisation to modular power-up mechanics — and I’m driven by a deep curiosity to understand how things work under the hood.I am able to learn and adapt to new tools and engines within a small time-frame to achieve goals, I enjoy taking on tough tasks that drive my skills to their limits. I’m seeking opportunities to expand my programming expertise by contributing to engaging player experiences and solving real-world development challenges. With a strong foundation in C++, C#, and Lua, and a commitment to ongoing learning, I aim to push the boundaries of gameplay systems and leave a lasting impact on the industry.
