My background is rooted in professional game development and building studios from the ground up. I took a non-traditional educational path, leaving formal schooling at 16 and completing my state exams through independent study. This required strong self-discipline and the ability to teach myself complex technical subjects, skills that became the foundation of my career. Over the past decade, I have worked professionally in game development and software engineering, contributing to and leading commercial projects across multiple platforms. I went on to co-found and scale a game development company that reached seven-figure revenue and was ultimately sold, giving me first-hand experience in both the creative and business realities of the games industry.
My teaching and tutoring experience comes from years of mentoring aspiring game developers, junior programmers, and students interested in interactive media. I have taught learners ranging from teenagers to adults, primarily through one-on-one and small group sessions. My focus is on core programming concepts, game systems, and problem-solving approaches used in real production environments. Rather than relying on abstract theory, I explain how and why things are done in professional studios, helping students connect fundamentals like math, logic, and code structure to building playable, scalable games.
Having built and sold a gaming company, I emphasize teaching students how to think like developers and creators, not just how to follow instructions. My approach is adaptive and student-focused, designed to build confidence, independence, and long-term understanding. Parents and students value that I bring real industry experience into each session, showing how strong technical foundations and clear thinking can translate into meaningful careers and real-world success in game development.
