I am a decisive and disciplined professional with a personable style and a diligent approach, focused on advancing my skills in computer programming. I enjoy collaborating with others and see myself as a skilled team member. My technical precision aids in effective problem-solving, benefiting the team. My strongest attribute is issue resolution, which started with my computer-building hobby at age 11. Patience enhances my problem-solving abilities and drives my success. I have strong communication skills and experience, which I used to lead a small team of programmers on a gaming project during my final year at university. I have also collaborated on a game showcased at Insomnia Gaming Festival 2023. My final year project received multiple university award nominations, attracting interest from a Canadian company seeking funding for an advanced concept gaming studio in the UK. I maintain a polite and welcoming attitude, supported by extensive customer service experience in IT support both remotely and in person.
