I’m driven by a love of video games. Since starting my journey in the industry, one of my biggest ambitions has been to work for a studio that makes games that are more than entertainment; they are immersive experiences. I maintained a commitment to quality in every university task and I aim to maintain that standard across my professional career in this industry. I’m eager to collaborate on teams, grow my programming and design skills, and contribute to meaningful projects. My background includes a solid education in Computer Games Development, practical work on game design and rapid prototyping, and hands-on volunteer roles that have strengthened my communication, leadership, and mentoring abilities.
