I am a recent Games Programming graduate from Edge Hill University, with a strong foundation in C++, C#, Python, Unreal Engine and Unity. Throughout my degree, I developed a range of projects including game systems, user interfaces, multi-level environments and interactive gameplay features, building practical experience in software design, debugging and problem solving. Alongside my technical studies, I balanced part-time employment in customer-facing roles, strengthening my communication, teamwork and organisational skills. I am now actively seeking an opportunity in software development or games programming where I can continue developing my technical abilities, contribute to meaningful projects and grow within a collaborative development team.
