I'm Ant,  a game developer with a passion for Unreal Engine from England.

Since I was young, I've had a keen interest for games, their development and the mechanics behind them. This extends to the possibilities they present in creative and technological potential.

I hold a degree in Computing, with a specialisation in software development and project management, and having industry experience, I aim to bring a unique perspective to the games industry. 

I am currently expanding my skills with Unreal via a Mastered Bootcamp, which is a 16-week intensive course. This is expanding my skills through creation of a portfolio project and guidance from mentors as well as creator challenges which are one day challenges to interpret and work from a brief to emulate a Game Jam. I've learned a lot during this time and ran into many bugs which have taught me that much more. 

I've also discovered that I have an interest in AI programming within game development as it has been a integral part of my project. I find the workings behind the character actions to be interesting to create and work with. Even when a character would stay still or go and do something unexpected, I saw it as a opportunity to understand why and face the challenge of fixing it.
