  Technological University Dublin

  Sept 2017 - Apr 2021

  Game Developer

  Focused on design of games, games programming, asset design and game production of multiple games with “Neon Demon” being a year long development cycle from pre-production to each software release life cycle. Responsible for creating the Player Movement, Shooting, Enemy/Boss/NPC AI systems and theReality Shifting System which was our USP for "Neon Demon". Managed test resource demand and capacity planning for all projects outlined above. As the technical and test lead I ensured that all defects and bugs were resolved before each release whilst also developing code for the game, this experience of coding and testing myself made me much stronger in both aspects and improved my coding and testing ethics. Worked on setting up the animation trees for any weapon/character/enemy to work with the systems created. Show less

  Crew Member

  In my first year of college I worked all the way through on weekends, during holidays and I also did overnights. I'm glad that I got this job as it thought me how to work in a team efficiently and how to deal with customers in a polite and helpful manner. I was able to perform every job presented to me from working the tills, preparing food, cleaning, cooking, lobby and drive through. I learned a lot of skills from this experience which will be useful throughout my life.
