Hi, I'm Jake Astles — a passionate and dedicated game developer. My journey into coding began in secondary school and quickly turned into a deep interest in the creative and technical sides of programming. What started with basic scripts in Unity has evolved into full-fledged projects using Unreal Engine 5, OpenGL, and both C++ and C# - my strongest programming languages. I've also worked with Python, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and MVC frameworks, and have developed several games and websites of my own.

Outside of class, I completed over 300 hours of work experience at a software house and took on leadership roles like House Captain and course representative, helping me grow as a team player in both technical and professional environments. I'm always interested in exploring new tools and languages, and I have a genuine passion for solving problems through code, whether that’s in game engines, graphics programming, or web development. I see programming not just as a skill, but as a creative process that allows me to bring ideas to life. My long-term goal is to work with a leading studio like Ubisoft, contributing to large-scale projects that push the boundaries of design and technology.
