What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to a studio or tech team where I can combine programming and design creativity. I want responsibilities that grow my problem-solving, teamwork, and technical skills while building engaging games.

I’m an aspiring game developer with a background in Computer Games Programming and a current MSc in Game Development and Design. I’m eager to contribute both technical and artistic skills to a forward-thinking studio or tech company.

My MSc focused on advanced game design and development, including a research project into Procedural Generation in Game Design. I achieved Distinction level marks in Programming, Graphics, and Software Engineering, and I enjoy turning complex problems into creative, working systems.

I’ve built customer-facing and teamwork experience through roles like Team Member at Tim Hortons, where I handled cash, followed health and hygiene regulations, and maintained high standards in a fast-paced environment. I also developed a strong professional routine with time management, clear communication, and dependable collaboration.

As a Junior Software Engineer (Truly, Madly, Deeply), I designed forms using Visual Studio, coded with a Microsoft SQL database, edited websites, and supported ongoing projects by presenting solutions. I also managed servers and edited databases, and I continue to bring the same problem-solving mindset and creativity to my game development work, including programming a video game for others to test and rate through the GEEK project.
