Hi, I'm Liam

I am a 19-year-old programmer currently studying Games Programming at Staffordshire University. Before university, I completed an IT course at Bournemouth and Poole College.

From a young age, playing games on my dad's PC, I was always curious about how things worked — how you could place monkeys in Bloons Tower Defense 5, or how the world of Minecraft seemed to go on forever. This curiosity later grew into a passion for recreating such mechanics and experimenting with ways to improve them.

Ever since joining my school's code club in Year 5, I have explored a wide range of technologies. I started with Scratch and Kodu, then moved on to more traditional text-based languages like Python and C#, and eventually found my passion in C++, which is now my primary language and the foundation for most of my projects.

Whenever I get the chance, I love playing pool in any pub I can find with a table. I also like to pretend I know how to throw darts — though I usually miss the board entirely. Gaming has been a huge hobby of mine for years. Whenever I find a new title to sink my teeth into, I end up losing an embarrassing number of hours to it. I’ve racked up just over 4,000 hours on Steam alone, with my favourite genres being competitive shooters and factory games.
