I am based in the centre of Glasgow. I have just completed a Master's Degree in "Sound for the Moving Image" at the Glasgow School of Art. My Master's Project involved the creation of an original 3D Videogame, featuring original music. Other areas of the course covered sound design, post-production, 3D audio, and other aspects of sound production. I was previously a software developer in the city for 8 years, following a Master's degree from the University of Strathclyde in "Computer and Electronic Systems". I am a passionate musician and have a strong knowledge of music theory. I enjoy playing, composing, and producing music in my spare time. I am looking to start a career in the videogames industry, following my recent studies. Having also worked in software development, I would hope my variety of skills might be useful in my pursuit of a new career.
