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 working on projects, I also love playing games - especially single-player games. Platformers are my bread and butter, with Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles being one of my all-time favorites. Other than playing games, I'm also curious about their history, design, and impact on the industry.

I frequently explore games released before my time (e.g., Arcades, Sega Saturn / Dreamcast), often through the work of archivists and preservationists such as the Gaming Historian and the Video Game History Foundation. I strongly believe in the importance of game preservation and access to older titles, as many lessons can be learnt from the games of the past!

In terms of personal hobbies, I enjoy video editing, and I've begun learning DaVinci Resolve after migrating from Adobe Premiere Pro. I also enjoy playing racket sports with others (I've recently gotten into pickleball),reading manga, and collecting memorabilia for my scrapbook!
