Brandon Mooney
Student at Abertay University
Hey!
I'm Brandon, a recent graduate of Games Design and Production at Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland.
During my time at Abertay I've worked on various personal and team projects, with familiarity in C#, C++ and Blueprint scripting, gaining experience in both the Unreal 5 and Unity game engine, as well as Git source control.
I love to get involved in all aspects of game development, with a keen interest in Mechanics Design and Prototyping. I'm a focused person who embraces problem solving, learning and being able to adapt to the needs of any given project.
I'm currently searching for all Graduate/Junior roles in Technical Game Design and Gameplay Programming . I'm excited to jump head first into the industry, and I'm always hungry to learn and challenge my skills in a innovative working environment.

Relevant Experience
In my 2nd year at Abertay, I participated in the Dare Academy 2023 games design competition, in which me and my team, Nervous Knight Games, successfully won a place as finalists and showcased our game Behind at EGX London. Check it out here!
Dare Academy allowed me to develop vital skills in teamwork, time management and communication, as well as allowing an opportunity for industry exposure.

I was also a Student Rep for Game Design and Production 2023-2024. I helped to organise events and game jams, as well as effectively communicate between students, lecturers and university staff.
About Me
On top of my university and professional work, I like to keep myself busy through playing through a wide variety of video game genres, from RPG's and platformers, to grand strategy and simulation games.
I've also recently finished reading through George R.R. Martin's ASOIAF series, and have begun reading through Frank Herbert's Dune series, both of which I highly recommend.
I'm also a lifelong Transformers fan, and have been keeping a collection of toys and figures for as long as I can remember, as well as a healthy stock of Gundam's and other figures.
I also have two dogs, Bonnie and Hope. Feel free to enjoy these pictures provided :D
