Richard Herbert's Portfolio About Me

I went to school at Bedford Modern School, and during my final year, 2014-15, in my spare time, I taught myself how to use Game Maker Studio in preparation for my gap year.

During this gap year I co-founded an independent game development company called Deity Productions, where my role was Programmer and Lead Writer. As a collaborative effort, we made 5 games and uploaded them to Newgrounds. These games can be found here.

After the gap year, I continued on to study Latin and Maths at the University of Glasgow, however, it became clear to me in my second year that my true passion lay in the world of IT.

After a brief period of learning under the programmers at Simply Education, I started a course at JustIT to gain the skills necessary to start a career as a programmer.
