I’m in my final year of Computer Games Applications Development and have a strong understanding of game mechanics, AI, graphics and programming. I’m passionate about both technical and creative roles, I work well in team environments and enjoy complex problem solving. I aim to work in game development, but I’m equally enthusiastic about broader IT roles. I’m excited to apply and develop my skills in a professional environment.
