Degree in Computer Science

WEB

FRONTEND

I enjoy designing user interfaces for websites and applications and have experience in making responsive pages.

You can view a web application I put together during my Diploma here.


BACKEND

I am familiar with popular web development languages Java, JavaScript and PHP and have some experience in frameworks like Spring, Electron and Node.

Additionally, I've worked with hosting tools such as Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Apache, JBoss, PostgreSQL and IBM DB2.


GAMES

DEVELOPMENT

Most of my game-related programming experience comes from creating mods for games like ArmA and Minecraft.

I also have some experience with Unity and Unreal engine along with some smaller projects building games from scratch with C++ and OpenGL.


ASSET CREATION

From my own projects and as a freelance 3D artist I have learned a lot about creating 3D assets and am capable of doing both organic and hard surface.

Some of my stuff can be found on Artstation.


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

For my final year project during my Degree programme, I researched the application of Artificial Intelligence for use in games, which involved creating a small demo.

You can view the results of that project in this presentation.


OTHERS

MULTIMEDIA

In school, my team won LRK2015 (A state school video competition). I have also done some music production and sound design in support of game development.

Furthermore, I have worked on small video projects involving compositing and CGI.


DESIGN

Learned some graphic design mostly in order to support my web and game projects.

I have made designs for clients (logos, icons, etc...) to be used on websites and apparel.


HOBBIES

One of my hobbies is Mountain Biking. I'm also into music, mostly playing acoustic and electric guitar.

I enjoy Web and Game development and consider them to be hobbies as well.
