About Me

Hello again!

Video games have been a massive part of my life. During my late childhood and teenage years, I became fascinated by their inner workings and development.

From using Debug Mode in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 to explore and break levels, to

watching behind the scene documentaries and videos on cut content and development. I have chosen this pathway because of the incredible work from my favourite studios and fan-made projects that inspired me to go to university to study games.

Outside of university studies, I proudly served as the president of University of Greenwich Games Dev Society (GDS) from 2023-2025 . My mission with GDS was to foster a strong sense of community among game development students across all years group at Greenwich, while also ensuring the society remains a  friendly and welcoming to students on different courses. Over the academic years, I've successfully lead, coordinated, and organised various events alongside the committee, showcasing my leadership, communication, and team-working skills.

 

Our efforts were recognised when we received the "Best New Academic Society" Award at the Greenwich Student-Led Teaching Awards within 6 months of reviving the society. Check us out on Linkedin and Instagram for highlights of our events!

Hobbies & Interests 

Outside of my studies, I also love playing games! I spend the majority of my downtime from university work playing single- player games. I especially love platformers, with one of my all-time favourite 2D platformer being Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. I also enjoy exploring games released before my time (e.g., Arcades, Sega Saturn / Dreamcast), and reading through old Edge magazines to get a feel of what the industry was like in the 80s/90s.

I also have a fond enjoyment of creating video game related bead art. I really enjoy creating miniature or slightly larger designs inspired by the games I love. I often find myself deeply immersed in the creation process, aiming to faithfully recreate iconic characters or designs from various games. Check out the gallery below to see what I've created so far!

In addition, I manage and post content to my Instagram gaming page, which is now undergoing a rebrand to focuses on sharing game dev content based on what I've learnt both during university and my own time to Inspire future game developers. I also enjoy diving into the modding scene with Sonic Generations (2011), watching anime and reading manga, and playing Badminton with the UOG Badminton Society.
