About Me
My game design & development journey began in 2017 when I took my passion for playing video games and decided to learn how to develop them during my final year of school using GameMaker.
A year after graduating high-school, I began my course in Game Development at UTS. Throughout my studies here, I have been involved in many successful projects that have allowed me to improve my critical thinking skills, broaden my development languages & techniques, and attain a deeper understanding for game design mechanics.
Other hobbies of mine include cooking, playing/watching football, playing with my dog and doing car detailing!
After graduating from my degree, I began my career as a junior software developer at XRG / Red Cartel using Unity to develop a variety of games & simulations in VR.
