I'm a freelance programmer focused on games and tech, collaborating with several small studios and solo developers. I bring a strong foundation in computing, networking, and programming, backed by a degree in Ethical Hacking & Cybersecurity. I enjoy tackling challenging programming tasks and continuously expanding my skillset across game development and software engineering. Recently I pivoted more into the gaming space, completing an Indie Games Development course to learn the development cycle and production elements of gaming. Since then I’ve taken on contracts to deepen my industry knowledge, focusing on programming, UI/UX, and level design. I’m nearing the end of current projects and am excited to take on my next contract in the gaming space.
