About me

I am a Computer Science for Games student at Sheffield Hallam University, currently undertaking a placement year with Codeweavers Ltd (https://www.codeweavers.net/) before entering my final year of study. My passion for programming and game development began during my school years and has since grown through university group projects, personal initiatives, and my industry experience.

In my second year, I focused on C++ and writing clean, efficient code, which helped me secure my placement. I have worked on various games, including those utilizing DirectX 11 and Unity, where I’ve applied optimization techniques and integrated scripting capabilities using Lua. My placement at Codeweavers has expanded my skills beyond game development, introducing me to the wider world of software and the daily practices of a professional software development team.

Codeweavers

My placement year at Codeweavers has been an incredible journey of growth and learning, both technically and personally. This experience has provided a solid foundation in software development, including learning and researching design principles, patterns, and honing my technical expertise. Beyond that, I’ve developed my soft skills through presentations to senior developers, collaborative research projects, workshops, and engaging team-building exercises with my peers.

I’ve made the most of opportunities to attend events, network with colleagues across the organization, and participate in meetings with senior company members, which has been invaluable in building my confidence and adaptability. The experience has prepared me for diverse professional settings, equipping me with many skills that I will carry forward.
