About

I have recently graduated with a 1^st class degree in MComp Games Software Development at Sheffield Hallam University, focusing primarily on application development in C++, with experience in graphics programming, scripting languages, DVCS/VCS and web technology. I am currently working full-time for Sumo Digital on projects including Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.
