I am an entrepreneur at heart and a software engineer by profession. I have founded many initiatives including the Cambridge Game Creators network which boasts more than 600 game developers and a one off international exhibition/conference, http :// 2013 -dot- Mosaic3DX -dot- com.

I am proud that I was able to effectively employ my "iterative" and "visual" teaching techniques during my professional career as a technical trainer at ARM Limited (Cambridge, UK) working with Microprocessor and GPU hardware/software design teams to create and deliver training courses for large international companies ranging from smart phone vendors to IoT device manufacturers and even game engine developers.

In addition I gained some experience of creating courses on Udemy while helping Ben Tristem create his "Unreal Engine" course ( look up "unrealcourse" on Udemy ).

This is what I think makes me a skilled instructor and so I am hoping to bring more value to the Udemy community by creating and publishing new courses here.
