United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
At Nubridge Publishing, I worked on GLURBS, a Unity language-learning app for primary school children. I designed and built games, connected the app to servers for player data and lesson content, and created 2D animations and user-facing features.
My projects include Shagrow, which I programmed for a game jam, and Somnia, where I was lead programmer and designer. I’m looking for a new project to get invested in and an opportunity to develop new skills.
