Harvey Palmer
Third Year Games Programming Student at at De Montfort UniversityABOUT ME.
I am a determined and dedicated student of games development, passionate about games and the gaming industry. I am currently in my third year of the Computer Games Programming course at De Montfort University, having returned from a 15 month placement as a Junior Software Engineer Intern at Sports Interactive (Sega) working on the Football Manager series. Alongside my internship I am developing my own game in Unreal with C++ which challenges the player to incrementally control several timelines of player movement to solve each level.Portfolio
