Video game designer and technician specialising within Unity and Unreal Engine 4 & 5.
A recent first-class graduate in games design and programming looking to enter the video game industry. I have experience creating game systems and mechanics both on independent projects, as well as in a group environment. I have been both a lead and junior technician in projects before, managing my own - and other's - workflow via apps such as Jira.

Designing and creating a website for a client
Get a look at some of my previous university projects made in persuing my Degree with technical explanations in Unreal Engine and Unity
During college, I had to work a certain amount of hours per week within an industry placement of choice. I ended up working in Rotherham Hospital with the IT department there as a Web Designer. This meant I spent a lot of time developing my HTML, CSS and Javascript abilities. This meant working in an office environment working to a client's needs.
An additional module I passed in college was Designing a Website for a client. While everybody in the class was designing a website for the same client with the same demands, only one website would be picked for actual use. Upon the deadline, the client selected to use the website that I had designed for them, after making a few extra requests to the layout of the website. The website is still being used today and can be seen here.
