Available to hire
I’m Leon Twemlow, a final-year games technology student based in North Shields. I’ve spent 5+ years building games and tools in Unity and C#, shipping Echoes of the Hive on Steam and contributing to contracted Unreal Engine 5 work.
I’m comfortable across gameplay systems, AI, animation, UI, mobile optimisation, and cloud backends. I write clean, maintainable code, work well in teams, and pick up new technology fast.
