Final year Games Design student (First Class Honours). Looking for an industry placement, or employment opportunity.
Innate problem solver, and can find creative solutions to various challenges. I thrive in a team environment and gain a great deal of satisfaction working altruistically towards a common goal with my peers. I have visual coding experience, and have proficient design knowledge. I have struck an excellent balance between rapid iterative design, and careful thought and consideration between projects. Often plan mechanics in Excel beforehand.

Journeyman Lead Designer: During my second year of university, I applied for the Lead Designer position of a 20 person development team, the goal of which was to produce a Borderlands themed vertical slice. During this module I ran production and administration for the entire team, managed 13 designers, produced an intricate random gun generator with a corresponding borderlands style damage system, communicated with external character and animation teams, and presented to an industry panel which voted our game and presentation the strongest amongst 9 other groups of our peers.
Casual Game Development Co-Lead: Coordinated group meetings, and generated deadlines to keep the project on track, Programmed and implemented camera tracking, and map switching systems. Worked closely with team members to produce presentation which was voted the winner by a panel of games lecturers.
