PERSONAL PROFILE
Games industry programmer with four years experience that thrives on collaboration and solving problems. My career aim is to be a lead programmer at a game development studio. This is achievable by my mentoring of associate engineers, continuous learning of C++, C# as well as Visual Studio, Unreal Engine, and mathematics. I also have direct experience of the PS4/XB1 development, release, and patching processes.
