Career Trajectory
Graduating during the COVID recession meant many jobs were unstable, freelance or otherwise.
Thankfully I managed to leverage my knowledge of the games industry into a part-time lecturing job in Cambridge, which eventually progressed to going full time in 2023 wherein I became the acting head of the new Games Programming BSc.
After helping so many young people achieve their dreams of making games, I decided it was time to put myself first and make the leap from creating developers to creating games.
