My CV has a list of my previous experiences on it, but given the
limited space, only very little can be said about them. So I decided
that I needed to showcase the work I did on them here.

* CUEi
Just before the pandemic hit in 2020, I joined Coventry University
Enterprises, to work on 'non-game games', using games technologies for
enterprise. I am currently working here so will not put more
information. Mostly in Unreal engine, but with some standalone C++,
Unity, and working with AWS cloud survices.
