About Me...

About me? Well my name's Matthew White and i'm an aspiring Games Programmer and recent graduate of Manchester Metropolitan University. There, I studied Games Technology for which i received a first class Bsc with honours. More recently I gave 2 talks at the September 2007 Cyber Games Conference, presenting both my work on Tanx! and my GEOmancy terrain engine. I have also written a short paper on terrain rendering, which is being published in the International Journal of Computer Games Technology later this year.

This site contains the best parts of my work over the last 6 months, including 2 of my current projects and a few shaders that i have written.

 

I am currently working as a Software Developer for ITIS holdings PLC, a company specialising in traffic and navigation software. Although I do enjoy the role, I am still eager to break into the games industry and continue to pursue that goal in my free time.

I consider my main area of expertise to be graphics programming, having experimented with both the HLSL and GLSL shader language extensively. I also consider myself highly proficient with both the C++ and C# languages, as well as the Visual Studio IDE suite, having used them all throughout my degree and current employment.

When not programming, I have been known to play guitar and have a great interest in live music. Having lived in Manchester for over 2 years, I find myself slightly spoilt in the music department, and regularly enjoy attending gigs around the city when I can!

My demos and work can be accessed through the links on the left. Enjoy!
