ABOUT ME

I'm a young games student with a solid technical background and interest in a variety of game-related topics including: Artificial intelligence, Tools Programming, Audio, Sounds & Music, Game Feel and General Games Development.


I've developed a strong interest in the field of games and have thoroughly enjoyed working on a number of projects in this field. This includes learning how to collaborate and communicate effectively in diverse teams with the same objective of producing high-quality products.


My background and experiences have proved to be a great asset for assisting designers in bringing their visions to life, as well as collaborating with others to gain tools, techniques, and ideas that I can apply to future projects. I constantly try my hardest and strive to make each product better then the last.


In my spare time I enjoy self-studying interesting topics, participating in choir and playing a variety of different video and board games.
