About Me:

I’m a recent Abertay University graduate with an undergraduate degree in computer games technology. Over my time on the course I’ve been exposed to a number of programming disciplines, including animation, graphics, network, AI and gameplay programming. In each module I’ve completed at university I’ve adapted to the challenges specific to each discipline and found solutions to problems encountered in the coursework assignments, from procedurally generating levels in a side-scrolling game to synchronising an arbitrary number of 3D animations in a blend tree. Through this experience I’ve developed a generalist programmer skillset that can adapt to a multiude of problems.

I love to challenge myself and make sense of complex topics, tackling complicated systems like neural networks, volumetric lighting and interesting procedural generation techniques like procedural caves with Perlin worms. My current main interest is graphics programming, and I’d love to tackle things like hardware-accelerated ray tracing, the new mesh shading pipeline, volumetric clouds and different rendering architectures like tiled and clustered rendering in the future.

Outside of programming and games I’m a self-taught guitarist, enjoyer of weird music and mediocre chess player.
