About

---

• I am a PhD student at Newcastle University. My thesis is titled:
  

  On the Modelling of Temporal Data

  Linear Logics in Event Logs and Deep Reinforcement Learning in Real-Time Simulations

  and I am awaiting my thesis defence (exp. late 2025)Bridging the gap between Temporal modelling as found in Business Process Management (BPMN) versus those in real-time systems exploited by (deep) reinforcement learning.
• Prior to my PhD, and during my MSc in Computer Game Engineering, I was a junior network programmer at Lucid Games Ltd. developing Destruction AllStars, a new release for the (also newly released) PlayStation 5. Here, I became familiar with REST API technologies and Node.js. My significant contributions include:
  • Managing message protocols between the client and the web service; specifically, the integration of filtering into their matchmaking system
  • Extending Unreal's Gauntlet's Automation Framework. Here, I re-adapted the automation tests to communicate and synchronise with the web service, allowing for greater control from the network. I also wrote the HTTP request system for this project.
• I have been programming since the start of my bachelor's degree in September 2017. Major milestones include:
  • PhD Computer Science, Awaiting thesis defence, exp. late 2025, Newcastle University
  • MSc Computer Game Engineering, Distinction, Newcastle University
  • BSc Computer Science, 1:1, Newcastle University
• My preferred languages are: Python; C#, C++, Java and C.
• I have also produced some applications of my own. This includes my Pokémon analyser; which has also been used by other developers in the industry of Pokémon game balancing.
• My GitHub, containing most of my projects, can be found here.

Personal

---

I have a few personal projects which I have worked on in my own time, located on my GitHub here.

PhD Computer Science

---

One major element of my PhD was the creation of a deep-reinforcement learning pipeline. This involved the creation of a Simulation and learning pipeline. Several state-of-the-art algorithms were exploited.

MSc Computer Game Engineering

Team Project

---

The team project during my MSc degree involved the recreation of a "Fall Guys" knock-off.Our team built a custom game engine from a skeleton codebase using following middleware. The following showcase the levels from my team project (Feb-Mar, 2021).

Individual Work

---

During my BSc and MSc, modules involved the development of game technologies. The following demonstrate those.
