About Me
I'm an Unreal Engine Gameplay Programmer based in Swindon, UK, currently completing a BSc Computer Science at UWE Bristol. I've been writing code since age 14 — but game development is where engineering meets craft.
My focus is building gameplay systems in UE5 using Blueprints and C++ — from AI combat logic and player interaction frameworks to competitive multiplayer game modes. I think in systems: how components connect, how states flow, and how mechanics feel from the player's perspective.
I shipped Late Game — a competitive Fortnite endgame training map — which accumulated over 2,850 organic impressions. I've also built Mars Marine, a fully playable UE5 isometric zombie shooter with custom wave AI, and an FPS prototype with modular combat systems.

Mars Marine
A fully playable isometric zombie shooter with custom AI wave management and escalating combat systems.
Built the core gameplay loop from scratch — wave spawning, AI pursuit logic using NavMesh, enemy health and damage interactions, player feedback systems, and level progression. All systems designed in Blueprints with C++ integration points for performance-critical logic.
// Technical Breakdown
Blueprint-first architecture for rapid iteration; C++ base classes for actor logic
AI: NavMesh navigation + custom pursuit behaviour per enemy type
Wave Manager: data-driven spawn system with difficulty scaling
Solved: enemy pathfinding conflicts in tight corridors via NavMesh agent tuning

The Case For Me
Why Hire Me
Blueprint Speed — C++ Depth
I prototype gameplay systems in Blueprints fast — then back them with C++ where it counts. You get iteration speed without sacrificing architecture. That balance is rare at any experience level.
Systems Thinker
I don't just build features — I build frameworks. Whether it's an AI wave controller, a round-state machine, or a damage pipeline, I think about how systems connect, how they fail, and how they scale.
I Ship
Late Game is live. Real players have played it. I know what it means to take a game system from whiteboard to a published, playable experience — and to iterate based on actual player behaviour.
Player-First Mindset
Gameplay feel isn't an afterthought. I ask: how does this system feel to the person holding the controller? That instinct shapes every decision I make — from AI reaction times to input response.
Continuous Growth
I'm actively deepening my C++ proficiency alongside my CS degree. I don't wait for courses to catch up — I build things that push my limits. Every project is an intentional step forward technically.
Team-Ready
Praised by a Senior Producer at Epic Games for collaborative attitude and process-oriented thinking. I communicate clearly, challenge assumptions constructively, and integrate well with existing pipelines.
Ready to build gameplay systems with your team.
