About Me

Hey! I'm Jack, a recent graduate from the University of Hull with a First in Computer Science for Games Programing.

I've always been interested in creating things in games, what started with experimenting with scratch and command blocks led to studying games programming at university, and now looking to make it my career.

When I'm not working on projects, I'm probably playing games with friends, getting through my to read list, or watching a new show.
