Hello, I'm
Welcome to my Portfolio!
I have recently finished a MSc in Serious Games and Virtual Reality at
The Glasgow School of Art
.
This course is the beginning of my professional education as it specialises me into the world of Game
Development with close ties to Visual Effects.
I am a graduate from a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Software Development at
The Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). This course focused heavily on practical
software
development
with
real-world application and trained me to be a Full-Stack developer.
I enjoy developing user-friendly applications that are useful for everyday tasks.
Over the past year, Game Development has become one of my passions and I love every aspect of it.
When I am working on games, I can see how much my creative side flows and my skills keep improving with
every game I develop.
When I am not programming, I enjoy video editing, studying films and creating music.
When I need to cool off, I go surfing!
These are some technologies and tools I like using!
