Ryan Cooke-Ward's Portfolio

So now that I have graduated with a 2:1 (BSc Hons! Woo! Part of me was worried I wouldn't make it!) I am beginning the work life. I am unemployed for the time being and very slowly chipping my way through Python in my own time. I am looking for work that pays more than minimum wage, although I understand that because I would require A  job to start getting myself into the industry, this will be open to discussion. This does also mean that perhaps I don't start at a junior programming position yet. Maybe I work in QA, for example. A friend of mine recently took up a QA job, and it's not a bad idea! As for this blog, the lack of any blog posts should give it away. Originally it started because it was a part of our university module, to create and maintain a blog for a year during our 2nd year, which could also double-up as a production log and portfolio where necessary. I haven't kept this up for the third year and am looking for a better place to hold my work than blog

Man I have got to find a better place to hold my stuff than Blogger. Currently, for the games engine, I am working on setting up a github jekyll page that will link to a git folder containing my end of year project.

Well this blog was intended to be solely for university, and to an extent it still is. I passed the second year with a 2:1 total, unsurprisingly lacking on the AV side of things, but I got 78% on my engine work! I want to start publishing a few more photos, screen caps, documents and such, because I will be entering the industry within a few years with any luck. If I am not picked up by a company at any level, be it QA or further, then I plan to start a project with a few of my friends I have made along this road. It would be exciting for sure, but my goal is the industry. In fact, there's an internship opportunity at Ubisoft that I would LOVE! Obviously the chances are slim, but man, what an experience that would be, right? So you might see a few more posts popping up throughout the year as this transitions more into an online portfolio The game definitely suffered from a lack of art on the UI. That being said, it's minimalist, using a lot of transparent shades of gre
