I am an ambitious First Class Honours graduate of Game Design and Production from The University of Cumbria that is passionate about supporting game development via clean, and efficient code. I excel at working with cross-disciplinary teams which I attribute to more than five years academic experience practicing Scrum, and working within structured sprints whilst programming for predominately Unity-based games. Furthermore I'm adaptable, resilient, available for collaboration and actively pursuing an onsite or remote gameplay programmer role.
