I am dedicated to fostering creativity and freedom of expression through game engines and immerging game technology. Enabling students to create meaningful projects that showcase their personality and innovative thinking.

Since studying computer science at Kingston University and previously being an Esports professional player, I have combined the skills learnt and aim to create exciting & entrancing digital spaces that show a story through visuals or audible experience. Additionally, my fundamental programming knowledge has enabled me to create game worlds through scripting languages within Godot and blueprints within Unreal Engine.
