My Experience
Argentex
May 2023 - Present
After gaining valuable experience from both Protek and Selectapension, I joined Argentex as part of a large team expansion. So far I have learnt a lot here about Dev Ops, serverless functions (Azure) and much more that I'm confident will aid me in my career in the future.
Protek
Oct 2022 - May 2023
I joined the team at Protek as the only developer (I was replacing the previous developer). As a result, I had to learn the internals of the system quickly and with limited help. The project was based upon ASP.Net Webforms which I got to modernising, implementing WebApi 2 and React to help increase the speed and UX of the site as well as the efficiency of the team.
Selectapension
Nov 2020 - Oct 2022
I joined this company as a Junior developer where I was tasked to work as a full-stack developer to helped implement new and innovative features and tools to assist customers with their finances. I also help maintain and keep our various databases up to date. This role primarily uses ASP.Net, MVC 5, C++, C# and SQL. After 6 months, I was promoted from Junior developer to mid-level developer due to my passion and previous programming experience.
Volunteer LUA Developer, Battlefield 3: Reality Mod
Jun 2020 - Jul 2022
With a group of 19 other volunteers, I worked to develop new features to create a realistic mod for Battlefield 3 that end users will directly interact with to the standard of that of a AAA game developer. One of the main tasks I worked on for Reality Mod was drastically improving the audio of the game to allow for a more immersive experience but also to gives player more information about what happening on the other side of the map. One way I achieved this was to increase the distance at which gun shots could be heard. Read more...
FLX Social Ltd
Apr 2018 - Mar 2020
I joined FLX whilst at university to get professional software development experience. Together, with a few students, we came a long way in developing a complex and marketable app. As the only developer, my duty was to find and implement new technologies into the app to help users achieve their goals.

Projects
Sundermead
May 2021 - Present
Sundermead, developed in the Unity Game Engine, began as simple project that would combine the game design of Minecraft and Stardew Valley. As time went on, it began to grow into something of its own. It is now a procedurally generated, open-world RPG in which the Anglo-Saxon gods have sent you to the Island of "Sundermead" to create a settlement.

Listwish

I built this web app to help myself come up with a list of presents to buy for Christmas 2022. It was built over 2 weeks. The front-end is built using Bootstrap & Blazor (WASM) to allow me to host it as an SPA using Firebase. As mentioned, the backend for this app was built using Firebase, this includes hosting, web-functions and their no-SQL realtime database.

U-BSP (FMP)
Apr 2020 - Jun 2020
This project was to take up the majority of the criteria for my final grade. The idea was a level editor that BSP brushes to make the design, prototype and iteration process of level design much easier. Technically, my tool actually uses CSG and not BSP but more often than not, the two terms are interchangeable and BSP is a more widely known term.
DirectX 11 Project
Oct 2019 - Nov 2019
In third year, I received an assignment that required me to implement a small game or tech demo using DirectX 11 and C++. The first assignment was a project that had to be completed in pairs. We had to analyse the project requirements as laid out in the assignment brief and design a project that fit the criteria. My class mate and I decided to make a first person shoote...
Call of Duty Clone (Survival Mode)
Apr 2019 - Jul 2019
I decided to start on this project because I wanted to see what I was capable of doing without the restriction of having to wait for or make my own assets. I wanted to see if I could create full AI, weapon, vehicle and other systems on my own. As you can see the above video, this project was very successful. From it I learnt alot about the entire pipeline that developers...
