PERSONAL PROFILE

I am currently a Programmer at d3t Ltd and graduated from the University of Bolton with a 1st class degree in BSc (Hons) Games Programming in 2019. My career aim is to be a lead programmer at a game development studio. I know I can achieve this by my continuous learning of C++ / C# as well as Visual Studio, Unreal Engine and Unity. I also have direct experience of the PS4/XB1 development, release, and patching processes. I thrive on teamwork and solving problems.
