Hi I am Aaron Craig Stead I am a games programmer. I have been programming since I was 11 years old, and I have learnt a variety of different coding languages mainly focused on learning coding for games through education for the last 6 years.
I have applied this understanding into games development to allow me to code the core elements of games, along with a growing understanding of AI coding, as well as a new understanding of VFX programming.
Through my time at Falmouth University I have learnt to work in indie sized teams and make a game within these groups. Whilst studying and creating game I also took part in learning boxing, as well as being within a amateur boxing fight which was a great experience for me both Physically and mentally.
In my past time I spent a lot of time playing games of ranging genres as I tend to enjoy different genres at different times, I often find myself going back to survival games or roguelikes games, otherwise I will go on walks, read books although i am very slow at it, or be going to the gym as I have found an enjoyment and helps me relaxed, as well as often meeting up and spending time with friends both in real life, or online.
I have been aiming to be a programmer to make games for others to enjoy and play as I am aware of what games can do for people. Not only how they help people connect and have fun playing together, but also how they can help people feel better about themselves and hopefully get the chance to forget any issues they might be happening in their lives. I want to be apart of this system of making games to give back, as the games that have helped me through all my struggles have done for me, I now want to make games to help the next generation
