I am a graduate of Abertay University with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Game Applications Development, specializing in gameplay programming and accessible game design. My dissertation explored the interaction of difficulty and accessibility in video games like Dark Souls and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.As a student, I held various leadership roles, notably as President of the Abertay Roleplaying Society, honing skills in team management, event organization, and budgeting. As the lead programmer in a professional project, I gained experience in Git repo management, task delegation, and effective communication.My coursework covered various programming languages (C/C++, C#, HTML, JavaScript, and PHP), game development frameworks (Unity and Unreal Engine), and essential concepts like computer hardware architecture and data structures. Noteworthy modules include Graphics Programming, Data Structures and Algorithms, Mathematics, and Network Systems for Game Development. In my final year, I investigated accessibility features in challenging video games, developing a demo to test solutions. I also enhanced a world editor application, inspired by industry-standard game engines.Active participation in extracurriculars enriched my understanding of gaming culture. With a strong foundation in gameplay programming and leadership skills, I am eager to contribute to immersive and inclusive gaming experiences in the software engineering domain.
