Web & Indie Game Developer with a philosophy of creating robust and maintainable code that stands the test of time.
Who I Am
I'm a Junior Web Developer at Naked Kitchens, building and maintaining the company website alongside a custom 3D Kitchen Planner — using React, Next.js, Three.js, PHP, and JavaScript. I work within an Agile team, turning non-technical requirements into robust, maintainable solutions.
Before that, I completed a Gameplay Programmer Bootcamp at Mastered, engineering a Unity C# movement shooter with wall-running mechanics. I hold a BSc in Computer Games (2:1) from Anglia Ruskin University, where I built projects in Unity and Unreal Engine — including a performance-optimised VR title for the Oculus Quest 2.
