ABOUT ME
Course
Computer Games Design
Biography
I am a highly creative Games Design student with great technical knowledge and abilities, particularly in Unreal Engine 4 and Maya. I have had 5 years’ experience in a team-based environment where I have demonstrated good communication and dedication towards the projects I have produced.
Software & Hardware Proficiencies
During University, I have learnt a lot about games development and gained skills using different software. These programs include Unreal Engine 4, Maya, Adobe Photoshop and Substance Painter.
Employment, Work Experience & Volunteering
I haven’t had any experience in the games industry, but I gained some experience in an office environment for two weeks. I worked as part of the permanent way team as a CAD Technician at Mott Macdonald in York. I learned basic CAD during the first week of my experience, as well as working individually to develop cross-sections within 3D models with basic flythroughs.
During University and College, I have volunteered for a variety of playtesting sessions with local companies. These companies included both R8 Games and Double Eleven.
Interests
I have many interests. I like to play a variety of games including genres such as shooters, action-adventure, platformers, indie games and puzzle games. I enjoy watching films and tv programs and reading books. I’d say my favourite genres would be sci-fi and fantasy. During University I have taken part in Archery and Volleyball, also being in the Teesside University teams. I am very interested in learning new parts of games development and new software. I love to develop level designs as a hobby, and hopefully work as a Level Designer in the future. As a break from work, I enjoy playing pool and snooker.
