I studied Computer Games Programming at Staffordshire University and have been passionate about programming since I was 11. With over 12 years of programming experience, I've developed a strong foundation in problem solving and game development, working with languages such as C++, C#, and even Z80 assembly. I enjoy tackling complex challenges, especially those that combine modern technologies with retro systems. During my placement year at Unity and a stint at Pineapple Games Studios, I gained valuable industry experience supporting developers and leading data management projects. Outside work, I love exploring the history of video games and programming on retro consoles, including creating a PS1 emulator for my dissertation. Gaming is not just my profession but a lifelong passion — RPGs are my favorite genre!
