EMPLOYMENT

Project Manager & Programmer, University Game Studio: Future App                                                        Aug 2020 — Present

​

Future App is an indie company set up by me and my Year 1 team after receiving internal funding from the University of Westminster, given only to the 3 best developed team projects in the year, to support and continue development of our project to produce an alpha version ready for publishment on behalf of the University. As project manager, my responsibilities included leading the team to improve upon the existing game concept and design. We later finished development and are currently awaiting its publishment.

Waiter, Pind Punjabi LTD                                                                                                                                           Oct 2019 — Present

​

Working as a waiter has allowed me to adapt to a fast-paced environment whilst maintaining high standards of customer service. Leading a team of waiters has further boosted my confidence and improved my communication and problem-solving skills. Part of my responsibilities include table service, preparing takeaways and operating the till.

​

INTERESTS

I am deeply interested in developing personal projects that challenge me to enhance my programming and game development skills. I constantly seek to learn new techniques and expand my knowledge through these creative endeavours. In addition to developing games, I enjoy playing a wide variety of games with friends. I take particular interest in analysing how different games innovate through visuals, gameplay, and mechanics, enriching my understanding of the creative process.
