Participated in the Search for a Star 2020 competition and was awarded a one to watch award. I also participated in the Search for a Star 2021 competition, rated second best overall within the Itch.IO jam ratings and was able to reach the finals. I enjoy creating games in my own time as outlined in my portfolio as they give me the opportunity to try new technologies, game ideas and mechanics. I thoroughly enjoy participating in game jams either with or without a team to produce a game and test my skills and ability to work within small deadlines.
