Game developer and engineer with an MA in Game Development (Distinction) from Kingston University, where my dissertation explored how quantum computing could reshape RPG mechanics. I work across three tracks:
- 🎮 Game development - Unreal Engine 5 systems in C++ and Blueprints: combat, enemy AI, data-driven equipment, diegetic UI
- 💻 Software engineering - full-stack web apps with FastAPI, React and Next.js, including authentication, databases and deployment
- ⚛️ Quantum computing - QAOA optimisation, QUBO encoding and amplitude estimation with IBM Qiskit, plus a C++17 quantum mechanics library

Quantum Computing
Solo dark fantasy action RPG and MA dissertation project. 4-hit combo system, Behaviour Tree AI, boss encounters and five quantum-inspired abilities. Shown at Develop:Brighton 2025.
|
Procedural dungeons generated with QAOA. Game design constraints are encoded as a QUBO problem and solved on a quantum circuit via IBM Qiskit.
|
Hybrid quantum-classical stock allocation: QAOA selects the assets, scipy optimises the weights. Real-time market data via yfinance.
|
Quantum Amplitude Estimation compared against classical Monte Carlo for options pricing and Value at Risk.
