After spending just over 9 years in an office job slowly progressing through the ranks a relocation and circumstances presented me with an opportunity to pursue a career of choice rather than one of convenience and necessity to pay bills. I jumped at the chance to pursue a career in games development and set about making it happen.

In 2010 I started an NC in Games development, followed by a HNC, HND and now i'm in my final year of University looking to graduate with a Bachelors in Computer Games Development. During the NC course I Co-Founded a 'Proto-Games Studio' under the title of Prickly Productions initially to use this as a showcase of our work and create a portfolio. As our confidence and knowledge has increased we've become to realise that the only thing holding us back from making Prickly an actual games studio is us and since then have gone on to publish our first title.

I'm skilled in c++, c#, Java, XNA, 3D Studio Max, Flash animation, Photoshop and have a lot of experience in managing small groups and projects.
