George Bell

Hey, I'm George!

I’m a PhD Candidate at Newcastle University, exploring immersive data visualisation.

About Me

Hello World! My name is George and I am a games programmer with experience using languages like C# and C++. I graduated from Newcastle University with a 1st Class Masters in Computing with a specialism in Game Engineering.

I am passionate not only about science and technology, but the arts as well with a deep love of games and films. In all the work I do I try to approach it from an original and unorthadox angle. It may not always work but I'm grateful for everything I am able to learn through the mistakes I make.

Alongside programming and game development, I am an avid journalist and film critic, writing for multiple publications about all manner of things. Through this critical analysis of media, I've developed a creative flair with the work I do and try to use it wherever and whenever I can!
