About Me

Get To Know Me

I'm Ben, a Programmer & Game Dev

Hi i'm Ben! a mission design engineer currently working at Spliced inc.

Over the past few years, I've worked on improving my skills with various programs and languages. I have become comfortable navigating and using software such as game engines (Unity/Unreal), 3D modelling programs (Blender/Maya), Version control (Github/Perfore), jira, confluence, and many more. Utilizing these skills, I have created many small experimental projects and a couple of bigger team-based games. During this time, I've discovered a keen interest in Design and procedural generation and creating highly replayable systems

At Spliced I've been able to further expand on many of my skills, primarily the use of Unreal Engine and AngelScript. I've also been able to develop my communication skills by working as part of a much larger team and interacting with other departments on a daily basis, broadening my skills and understanding across multiple disciplines
