Games Programming

I specialise in C++ and have practical experience with OpenGL, DirectX and game engines such as Unity. My work covers real‑time rendering, shader authoring, GPU/CPU performance optimisation, multithreaded systems and gameplay/tools programming.

To deepen my expertise I study advanced rendering techniques (including ray tracing and GI), modern graphics APIs (Vulkan / DX12), and profiling/debugging tools. I apply what I learn by building projects, improving toolchains, and maintaining code on GitHub to iterate on real problems.

I also worked as both a tools and gameplay programmer on Zwift, an MMO cycling and running physical training program, during my time at Sumo Leamington. I got to develop a range of new tools for the engine and add features to the game.
