Computer Science

During my three-year Computer Science degree at Warwick, I always had some idea that I would like to become a game developer. I started applying to companies in my third year, and in January 2005 was invited for an interview with Rare Ltd, who are responsible for titles such as the Donkey Kong Country series and Goldeneye. Due to the efficiency of their recruitment process, I had been offered a job before any of the other companies had even got round to responding to my original application! I have now been working at Rare for just over a year. Although much of what I studied during my degree at Warwick is not directly relevant to my day-to-day work, I believe the course was an exceptional education. As a Computer Scientist it has trained me in a disciplined way of thinking, and has given me an excellent foundation to work with.
