Intro

I'm Matthew, I'm 24 years old, and I currently live in Scotland, however I'm willing to work just about anywhere around the world. I've spent my whole life programming and designing artefacts, from things as small as logos to as big as coding complete software.

I've just completed my final year of studying Digital Media BSc (Hons), graduating with a 2:1 classification, and having previously studied in Computer Science BSc earning a bachelor’s degree.

I first became fascinated with computers as a child, exploring software such as Google Earth or playing around with Excel and PowerPoint. Soon I went on to playing video games, and before I knew it I was teaching myself to take apart and build computers as a teenager. I progressed quickly in this area in high school while programming websites and basic programs in my free time.

I also enjoy hiking, climbing, and exploring the wild along with taking photographs along the way. Due to growing up on a farm, I took a keen interest in the environment from when I was very young, developing a fascination of the natural world from being a teenager to now.

Today, I see climate change as the foremost issue facing our planet, and it is for this reason among others that I would very much like to work one day as part of an organization that is devoted to protecting wildlife and our planet.

Extinction Data Visualisation

This data visualization project was made to shine a light on extinct creatures, and how they're remembered to this day. This project taught me a great deal about Power BI, along with: data scraping, cleaning, and gave me valuable experience in data visualization on the whole, which I found particularly enjoyable.

Fire-Lookout Tower

This was my first full Blender project I made for my 3D modelling coursework.

Hiker Character Animation

This was my first attempt at a 3D character animation in Blender, completed for a module in my 3rd year of Digital Media.

Walking Animation

Idle Animation, with beard scratch included!

Desk Space Limited

These three games were created for three separate coursework assignments over my university years - for 2D, 3D, and VR Games Design modules respectively. They taught me deep knowledge in games development through Unity and gave me valuable experience in programming in C#.
