I'm a Newcastle based Software Engineer, having studied an MComp in Computer Science at Newcastle University. In my final year, I focused on game engineering, however, I gained a broad range of experience within computer science throughout my degree. As such, I also have a keen interest in programming language design and software development in general.
Since university, I have worked at ZeroLight, extending and adding features to the Unity application behind the Spotlight Suite. I have also worked on several personal projects both within and outside programming. I also enjoy playing tabletop games, tennis and the trumpet.
Here is a selection of the work I have done, going from most to least recent:
C#, Unity, JavaScript
A series of prototypes made to create a 4D Game.
Prototypes include how to display a cross-section of a 3d mesh,
a simple game with this mechanism, and then applying this to create
a 3d cross-section of a 4d mesh in Unity.
C++, OpenGL (Code Samples Available)
Final project of my degree. Implements two different ways of
visualising 4D objects in real-time: wireframe projection and 3D cross-sections.
Used OpenGL vertex, Geometry and Fragment shaders
JavaScript, HTML5, CSS
Implementation of Tetris in JavaScript with several modes,
including a battle mode against and AI and a mode with gravity.
C++, OpenGL, PS4
A team project during the final year of my MComp.
A cross-platform (Windows/PS4) 3D golf game where the player can change the fundamental rules.
Responsible for windows graphics and level management.
Unfinished due to the COVID-19 lockdown
C++ (Code Samples Available)
Coursework for the CSC8503 - Game Technologies module as part of the final year of my MComp.
A game where you control a goose and steal apples and boxes from a village
and take them back to your island. Includes physics, collision detection,
AI and networking.
C++, OpenGL (Code Samples Available)
Coursework for the CSC8502 - Graphics module as part of the final year of my MComp.
The program renders a landscape that rises out of the water over time.
Includes lighting, post processing, shadow mapping and triplanar texturing.
C++ (Code Samples Available)
Coursework for the CSC8501 - Programming module as part of the final year of my MComp.
Combinatorial problem, where the final program generates and calculates
the number of continuous rows/columns of 15 tile style puzzles.
Includes Object Orientation and C++11 features such as lambdas.
C++, OpenGL
Work from the CSC3095 - Stage 3 Project.
The program generates terrain in real time
using several procedural generation techniques.
I also implemented a system to allow for infinite scrolling.
