CV
Profile
I have around 5 years working in Unreal Engine 4 and 5. I work in both C++ and Blueprints including multiplayer games while taking charge in implementing core features of the game and overlooking other developers in my last job role.
My last job role was part of a AAA game where I overlooked new junior developers who were joining the team and showed them around the large project and helped them when needed. I was the main point of contact for the animation and sound team to talk about updates and changes needed with the new animations or sounds that needed to be implemented.
I was regularly in charge of a new core feature and was left to it.
Before the long contract in the AAA studio I have released several projects and have a portfolio to show them. I always continue to push my knowledge in UE5 and have releases in mobile on Android and IOS along with Windows. I am also in the process of completing a VR/AR training tool.
Bonus
With extensive background experience and achievements in other job roles such as a professional skydiving coach, setting up businesses and organising different world class events, I will be able to use the different skill sets I have learned to implement new ideas and run teams. With this background experience this enables me to have good communication skills, organised, good at keeping documentation where needed and very good at time management and meeting deadlines while working with many others or leading a team. I thrive to learn new things and have passion in anything I do

Past projects in Game Development
Golden Tides - AAA
This project is a large scale game AAA level.
I was one of the first developers on the game when there was only 3 others. I worked on this project for over 18 months and the game ended up having around 14 Developers all working at once. I helped overlook the new developers as they joined and I worked on core features and game design throughout my time there.
Game features in all areas including animation layered graphs , abilities systems, inventory, UI, AI, ship handling and balancing of the characters abilities. Main logic handled in CPP and implementation in BP ready for ease for game designers for balancing where needed.
The game is a dedicated online multiplayer game which should hold up to 100 people battling at once. The game allowed for many different hero's and abilities using GAS which we modified core logic too and the game allowed for ships to be sailed using physics.
We used perforce as our main source control.
SYFA Earthfall
This project was a freelance job to make a demo for a larger scaled project which will be put out for funding.
I was the sole developer and in this game it includes:
Main character - flying, shooting and melee attacks
AI - 3 different types, melee, shooter and flying mages
Pick ups,
mission objectives
Navigation system
Special weapons
This project included migrating many different animations and weapon systems to be able to make the character do everything whilst on the ground or flying.
Dynamic Flying Compulsories
This was a project I worked on by myself.
It involved lots of engineering due to the player being able to choose which patterns are played back to back with many variations. All animations are played whilst moving along a spline with inputs determining the characters position.
Speed and camera angles and layout along with many other things can be modified during gameplay to give the player maximum control and learning capabilities.
FS Formation Skydiving
This was a project I worked on by myself.
It involved lots of engineering due to the player being able to choose a variety or formations which also has the possibility for a flyer to change positions meaning all future formations the flyer has to change where they go. With each formation with a unique location and rotation input and with block moves which causes 2 or more flyers to be linked there is a lot going on inside the app.
Speed and camera angles and category selections dependant on skill level along with many other things can be modified during gameplay to give the player maximum control and learning capabilities.
Space Cruise
I created this project by myself and integrated adverts.
This game is an endless runner type game but in horizontal and vertical movement system.
I created 15 levels which changes speed of movement and the amount of AI or obstacles spawned as the level increases.
This game has a small tutorial and saves the highest score.
Mission Stop-O-Bot
This game was created to have Multiple different types of AI involved in the gameplay along with cinematics during gameplay.
AI with melee attack, shooting, flying AI, hostages that follow and even fellow shooter friendly AI to help you.
This game includes cinematics throughout the game also.
