Voi A 3D platformer designed around non-euclideon spaces (I was lead programmer)

Who am I

I'm a self taught programmer and I specialise in games and game‑adjacent things

I like flat shaded and textureless things, audio synthesis, and on the odd occasion implementing http from scratch

I think realistic graphics in games are overrated and that audio deserves more love

I want to make cool things

Born in NZ, raised in Australia, living in the UK

What I've done

  • Senior Tools Programmer at Creative Assembly apr 2022 - may 2024
  • Tools Programmer at Creative Assembly jun 2018 - apr 2022
  • Gameplay/Engine Programmer at Game Insight aug 2016 - nov 2017
  • Intern (QA/Programming) at Euclideon 2015
  • Trainee at Valhalla Bifrost 2012

I completed a Bachelor in Game Development at SAE Institute Brisbane in 2016

What I can do

I know C++ well enough to use sfinae effectively but also well enough to not use it everywhere

Can write Rust, and prefer it when given a choice

Can write good enough C#, Python, and JS when I need to

Can read x86 Assembly when I absolutely must

Have been using OpenGL for almost as long as I've been programming

Familiar with emscripten and webassembly
