Profile

Who am I...

I'm a Games Programmer with a passion for low-level engine and graphics programming using Vulkan & DirectX, currently working at Manifold Games! I have experience writing C, C++ & C# and I've used Unity, Unreal, and a variety of proprietary game engines.

Graduated from the University of the West of England with a first class BSc (Hons) Games Technology degree in 2023! I was also shortlisted as an "Outstanding Graduate of the Year" finalist in two categories at the TIGA awards - read more here!
