About me
Hello there, I'm Jack a Junior Gameplay Programmer at Free Radical Design with 2 years of experience in industry and 3 years of experience total with Unreal Engine 4 & 5. In 2020, I proudly earned my Master of Computing degree with Distinction from De Montfort University, supported by an academic scholarship. I am looking for opportunities which will allows me to continue to utilise my constantly improving skills.
I think it's pretty obvious my passion is computer games otherwise I wouldn't want to make them. I enjoy playing game's such as Escape from Tarkov, Call of Duty DMZ, Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. My favourite franchise would have to be Halo as those were the games that made me want to make games as well as play them. I have also built a computer from just base components which was a nice challenge, that deepened my understanding of the hardware aspects of computing.
Whilst studying at De Montfort I joined the American Football Team as a Defensive lineman, this was a great way to unwind and be part of a team all working towards the same goal. My final year of playing for the team I was a player coach teaching the new players in my position and we won our divisional title that year as well. I play less now, but I still watch the NFL season and playoffs.
When I’m not playing games or watching American football. I enjoy anime such as Attack on Titan and Cyberpunk Edge Runners. These also help me unwind after a stressful day of debugging those ones and zeros.
