I'm George, a recent graduate from the University of Portsmouth, where I earned a degree in BSc Computer Games Technology. I am currently residing in London. I've been self-teaching coding and various software since the age of 10 and have honed my skills in various software applications such as Blender, Photoshop, Vegas Pro, and front-end website development.
I have always been deeply passionate about the gaming industry and fascinated by every aspect of the game development process, with a strong desire to be actively involved in this dynamic field. Initially seeking a career in 3D modelling for games, before rediscovering my passion for coding.
I am enthusiastic about constantly exploring new gameplay designs, innovations and implementations, with a strong passion for experimenting with gameplay concepts and mechanics. I am constantly working to expand my knowledge and acquire new skills to enhance the quality and efficiency of my craft.
