Hello World
I am a geek, and I have far too many hobbies
I am a geek, and I have far too many hobbies
I am a graduate software engineer with a passion for software development and user experience design. I have always had a variety of both logical and creative hobbies, and I believe I do my best work when I find a way to combine both.
My interest in video games started with using cheat codes to cause carnage in Age of Mythology as a child. I’ve since moved on to games like Professor Layton, Portal, Transistor, The Witness, and Outer Wilds, thankfully with no cheat codes necessary. I started making games in my spare time, moving from GameMaker to Unity and adding my own art and music.
Over the last few years, I’ve started applying these design skills to non-game related software and have really fallen in love with user experience and user interface design. Even behind the scenes, I am passionate about beautiful, organised code and the huge impact it has on developer experience.
I love programming and currently specialise in Python and JavaScript. I’ve also been enjoying exploring more project management skills, such as requirements gathering and high level system design.
Outside of technology, my other hobbies include video editing, singing, painting, and recently learning the ukulele.
