What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a junior graphics or engine programming role where I can build real-time rendering systems, develop shaders, and grow my low-level OpenGL and engine programming skills.

I've built an OpenGL renderer in C++ featuring procedural heightmaps, texture blending, SSBO-generated snowfall particles, and post-processing effects including fog, chromatic aberration, and shadows. I also designed a first-person dungeon looter focused on procedural world generation.

I'm a First Class Computer Games Programming graduate from De Montfort University, focused on real-time rendering, shader development, performance optimisation, and engine-level programming. Alongside my projects, I've balanced deadline-driven work in home delivery and hospitality while continuing to develop my graphics programming skills.
