I am a hard-working, conscientious hospitality professional with ten years' experience in high-paced kitchens and hotels. I thrive on both independent work and teamwork, prioritising tasks to meet deadlines and maintain quality, and I’ve progressed from sous chef to head chef. Recently I’ve fallen in love with Unity game development and 3D art. I’m learning Blender in my spare time and have been building a game project while collaborating on CGHEROS asset work and completing a Games Engine Bootcamp. I’m aiming to start my career as a junior game developer or 3D artist and plan a Steam release of my own game by year-end.
