My journey into game development began in high school, where I discovered my passion for combining artistic creativity with programming. It all started with my Computer Applications Technology (CAT) classes, where I learned HTML and CSS, sparking my interest in the IT sphere. During my later years in high school, I had the opportunity to choose a topic for a major project. I decided to create a mobile app for my Dad's NGO, using Android Studio and JavaScript. For guidance, I was mentored by programming staff at Afrozaar in Cape Town. This experience allowed me to see the potential of using technology to make a real-world impact, as the app helped assess the level of need for support for families. As I progressed, I delved into the Kotlin language and created a basic calculator app during an internship / learnership at a Software Engineering company called Afrozaar. Here I was exposed to various aspects of programming and app development, and gained experience working in a dynamic team environment. I continued to work at this company for just over 4 and a half years, learning and gaining more experience across this field. Fascinated by all aspects of creating applications, I began exploring game design and development through Udemy courses and YouTube tutorials. I soon realized that I could bring my artistic vision to life by designing characters and worlds, modelling them in 3D software, and integrating them into my own Unity games. Later on, I did a 1-year Game Design and Development certificate at a college called Greenside Design Centre where I was able to fill in the gaps of my previous game dev learning and enhance my skillset further. Currently, my main hobbies revolve around game development and 3D hard surface game asset creation. I have even established my own Unity Asset Store page, with the goal of releasing a pack of my own creation each year. My desire to create assets stems from my aspiration to craft unique game worlds that reflect my personal style. In addition to my dedication to creating games and game assets as a hobby, I am also actively seeking employment opportunities within the game development scene. I am passionate about translating my artistic creativity and programming skills into a fulfilling career in the game development industry. My goal is to continue honing my craft while also pursuing professional opportunities that allow me to contribute to the creation of innovative and immersive gaming experiences.
