Echoes Of The Underground
Echoes Of The Underground is a VR rail shooter where the player has multiple weapons and ways to destroy the undead.
I used the Meta Quest and the VR Interaction Toolkit in Unity and created various back-end systems for the project as the solo developer.
The game is still a work in progress, however we have an expected release date of July 2024.
Platforms:
Boxing Legends
Boxing Legends is a turn-based fighting game where two opponents try to predict and counter each other's moves.
I worked in tandem with my colleagues at LanternPix Studios to program many different systems including; The AI for the CPU opponent, the gameplay loop (which I helped design), the saving system and various other UI and miscellaneous systems.
Platforms:
The Revengineer
The Revengineer is an elemental shooter where the player is given the tools to overcome various combat and platforming challenges.
I worked as a part of a 20-man team on a larger project. I was in charge of the AI, however many of the prototypes and unique ideas were abandoned for a more simple enemy AI. I learnt a lot from this project about communication and working in a large team.
Platforms:
Lost Destination
Lost Destination was a game jam project that I made in two days, it focuses on a mysterious story that is slowly revealed over the course of the game .
Platforms:
Childs Awakening
Childs Awakening was made for my first year university game jam, it is a platformer with a unique mechanic that some of the platforms are invisible until they are lit up by the torch.

Soft Skills
Effective communicator
To be an effective communicator I ensure that my language is professional whilst trying to maintain good rapport with my colleagues. I strive to be a reliable and an easy-to-approach team member.
Excited To Learn
I think that every new project is a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and I love to learn new concepts from my peers and implement them.
Enjoy Feedback
I love to receive feedback on my code and I fully understand that there is always room to improve and optimise, especially when there is a professional standard to uphold.
Teamwork
I enjoy working as a part of a larger team and aspire to be a team member that others can rely on.
Personal Interests
Powerlifting/Bodybuilding
Game Jams
Chess
I've been lifting weights for the last 3 years, I find that it can help in relieving stress and I overall love the journey of self-improvement and constantly trying to become the best possible version of yourself.
I try to document my progress on my Instagram -->
I enjoy participating in game jams and other events that involve game creation as they can be both extremely exhausting but rewarding to complete.
I've been playing chess casually since I was a child and I enjoy the endless learning that accompanies the game, however mostly nowadays I just complete puzzles or play the quick game when I have the chance
