A Bit About Me
I'm an Abertay Computer Games Technology Student based in Dundee. My passion is everything games! From the low-level engineering, to simply making non-stop games.
​
My main strengths lie in C++, graphics, networking, and gameplay programming. I like to delve deep into these areas, to get a deeper set of skills and knowledge. The harder concepts is a big reason why programming has been my passion for the past 5 years!
​
This hasn't stopped me from dipping my feat into other disciplines, I've learnt and done 3D/2D art, music and sound, animation, producing, level design, and more. I thoroughly enjoy them and they've let me become an asset to any team I join, as I have the multi-disciplinary knowledge and experience to help, understand, and communicate with other team-members.
​
My favourite time was when I was helping out the Graphics and Networking class as a class helper. My favourite comment being 'have you ever considered becoming a lecturer?'.
​
My journey has led me to pursue roles for:
-
Graphics Programmer
-
Gameplay Programmer
-
Network Programmer
​
However I'm very interested in doing other roles such as Tools Programmer, Technical Artist/VFX Programmer, Audio Programmer, and Animation Programmer.
I imagine myself going into these roles further down the line.
