Ashley Gentleman

I'm Ashley Gentleman, a 21 year old aspiring Gameplay Programmer

I enjoy creating games that are addicting to play and rich with unique player mechanics. I love to challenge myself, sometimes to the point where I find it difficult to let go if I can't come up with a solution to my issue.

I'm always seeking opportunities to learn new things, as well as improve upon my already existing skill set.

During my studies at university, I've gained hands-on experience developing for multiple platforms within Unity — including VR, Mobile, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
