Practical Demonstrator Macquarie University

​2015 - 2019

 

At Macquarie University, I teach practical classes on how to use the Unity game engine. Topics include 2D sprite animation, 3D physics and particle effects, as well as the use of external tools such as Probuilder and Gaia for level prototyping/creation.

I've also marked theoretical game analysis and practical demonstration assignments.

 

Adjunct Lecturer Macquarie University​

2015 - 2019

​

As an Adjunct Lecturer, I work closely with the Convenor of the games design major’s final project/capstone unit at Macquarie University. In this unit, students have 13 weeks to make a game from start to finish. I work on managing the teams and mark their milestone documentations and peer assessments. These assessments occur every two weeks of the unit.

It's a great experience teaching this subject and swapping hats between programmer, artist and designer to help students create games to the best of their ability.
