About

I graduated from Newcastle University with a degree in Computer Science and I'm looking for a role in game development.

I enjoy spending my time building my own games and prototypes or modding others. My most recent project is that I modded DOOM into an Arcade Paradise cabinet using MelonLoader, working directly against decompiled IL2CPP assemblies. I also have recently picked up programming hardware and low-level embedded systems and have built a physical radio device that streams game soundtracks like an in-game station with an ESP32. It also has an accompanying desktop software in a Tauri app written in Rust that handles audio transcoding, metadata generation and artwork conversion.

My blog posts at the moment currently revolve around two things: a tutorial series on what makes a good “feeling” vehicle controller in Unity as well as building a tycoon game from scratch in C and Raylib. This is the first time I've made a game from scratch as I wanted to understand performance and architecture at the level that off-the-shelf engines abstract away. So far I've already had to tackle flow fields for thousands of agents, utility AI with exponential urgency curves and a custom isometric renderer. I’ve been writing about the process on my blog here.

I also have some web development experience with Laravel, WordPress plugins, a Next.js educational app with Supabase and even won Best Team Project out of roughly 60 groups at university for an industry-facing electronic components price checker.
