My name is Phil and I am a graduate of Games Design & Production Management at Abertay University. I am passionate about all aspects of the game industry and my goal is to combine my passion for the games industry with my skillset to become an expert and lead in the field of software testing & Quality Assurance within a thriving business.This will allow me to not only utilize my skillset and work with like minded people on innovative projects, but also work with exciting new technology to create unique engaging content.I'm a very open minded person with a keen eye for details and I believe a high emphasis on communication within any workplace is vital.I like working within a team and have had the opportunity to mentor and influence members of a team before. To me it is important to have a focused and confident team. I also understand the impertinence of working solo and can take confident initiative in a situation that warrants it.Whilst in my 3rd year at Abertay I took part in a module that emulated (to a degree) an industry environment. This saw me and a team of nine other people collaborate to create a prototype for Sony Liverpool that leveraged the Playstation Move. Whilst doing this project I took on responsibility of several roles which included: Producer, Designer, Environment artist and voice work.In my 4th year I submitted an entry to gamecareerguide's Design challenge and was picked as one of the winning entries.http://www.gamecareerguide.com/features/1138/results_from_game_design_.php?page=5 Whilst I work on creating a showcase of my skillset I have worked back in retail to gain more experience of mentoring people within a team as part of a development portfolio. With it being Game I have also been exposed to the launch of the new games consoles and gathered a lot of knowledge on what gaming habits exist with gamers.Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. I also have a blog that showcases the various things I am working on.
