Overview
I joined Free Radical Design to work on an, unfortunately, unreleased Time Splitters project in May 2022 as a Junior Game Programmer.
During my time as a junior developer, I had to create various systems within tight constraints that were dictated by the requirements of the game that was being made. Including prototyping new features with people from a design team, and creating network-performance-orientated systems.
Around the promotion to a Game Programmer in November 2023, I passed ownership over several systems that I developed to other programmers and took over maintaining and improving the existing animation system, while also closely working together with the Animation Team.
