About Me

Unreal Engine is my bread and butter – I’ve worked with porting for PC and console across Unreal Engine 4 & 5, along with optimisation work, systems & framework development, and preventative anti-cheat.

In my spare time I’m a volunteer community admin for Trans Game Dev and I was nominated for the Grads in Games Inclusivity Champion award in 2022.

When I’m not making or talking about games, I can be found doing almost every creative hobby imaginable whilst staying very far away from my computer. All doodles on this website were lovingly handcrafted.
