Bio

I grew up in the North of England and have been playing games since I was very young. A few years ago I decided I wanted to persue a career in making video games. Despite having no knowledge of programming, I decided to move to London to attend SAE institute and complete a course in games programming. This was extremely successful as I learned the basics and more and also finished with a first.

Fast forwarding to now I have a great love for programming and creating projects. I wish to be a part of something I can pour my heart into. I am so excited to get dug into the industry, meeting amazing people and programming amazing games that everyone can play.

I love games that are character focused, such as Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Baldurs Gate, Metal Gear etc... Characters to me are the most important part of the story, whether they are heroes, villians or in-between. I always love to meet the characters and figure out their backstories and in the future I want to be a part of teams that makes these type of games.

When I think of games, I always think of the countless hours of fun I have had getting lost in worlds, characters, combat, puzzles and everything else. I want to give other people the same feeling and I am so eager to be a part of something and contribute everything I can to making the best type of games possible.

Favourite Game: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Favoutite Series: Dark Souls
Favourite Genre: RPG
Game that gave me the most scares: The Mortuary Assistant
