As the program manager, I hold the responsibility of shaping our curriculum to align seamlessly with industry standards and expectations. In collaboration with an array of esteemed game companies, I've development four comprehensive courses: Game Development, Game Programming and Game Art.Within these courses, my involvement in the module design spans across the entirety of the curriculum, from 3D and Visual Design to Applied Mathematics and Advanced Game Programming. In addition to my management duties, I remain actively engaged in teaching across various modules. While I've had the privilege of instructing on a broad spectrum of modules, my primary focus centres on Game Engine Development and the teaching of Unreal Engine 5 and its systems along each course level.The current modules I teach include:- Game Creation (Unreal Engine 5)- Game Engine Development (Unreal Engine 5)- Team Projects (Level 4 - 6)- Indie Game DevelopmentI also partake with the University in core networking events such as Game Republic and GaMaYo.

I taught and support on a variety of modules but with a heavier emphasis on Game Development with a specialism in Unreal Engine and its development to create Games and experiences. Modules taught such as:- Game Engines (Unreal Engine)- Team Projects - Game Design- Introduction to 3DWith more emphasis on Unreal Engine, I was able to explore multiple avenues such as: Paper 2D, Level Design, blueprinting game mechanics, and the collaborative development of games within a team.

As a Lecturer, I played a significant role in the management and delivery of modules to the Level 2 and Level 3 BTEC courses in Creative Media (Game Design). Over the years, I not only contributed to the smooth operation of these courses but also took an active role in the development of these courses and modules ensuring content was following industry practice. I taught many modules all relating to game creation and design:- Game Creation in Unreal Engine 4- Level Design in Unreal Engine 4- Group Project, development of a game using Unreal Engine 4- Concept Art for Games- Coding for Games (C++ & AS)I also ran a variety of evening classes that supported adult learners with the Adobe Creative suite.

In my role as a 3D Artist, I was a member of crafting environmental assets during the development process. My responsibilities included ensuring that all assets created featured seamlessly tileable textures and were enriched with hand-painted textures, contributing to the overall visual aesthetic of the game.

As a dedicated teaching assistant, I took an active role in creating modules based off of BTEC specifications and crafting engaging learner content/presentations. I harnessed the power of various game engines, including Stencyl, Scratch, and UDK, to teach students how to construct game prototypes.I had the privilege of mentoring and a diverse group of college students aged 16+. I taught and supported in the development of skills such as: 3D modelling, game theory, and concept art and game development
