Hello
My name is Joe McLoughlin
As a Graduate in MSc Computer Games Engineering from Newcastle University, achieving a distinction grade, I am taking the next step on my computer games career, aspiring to work in a level design role at a top games company.
With the skills I have developed in Unity and Unreal (employed extensively in a number of my Projects [See here]), I believe I would be a great asset to a company looking to recruit a talented and passionate post-graduate level designer.
The perfect role would be one that gives the opportunity to combine my level design skills with my love of history, my creativity and my technical mind, and paves the way to a principal level design role.
