Welcome to my CodeMentor profile! I've dedicated my entire life to become amazing at making games and apps, and I am ready to help with your project!.. I am ex-Rockstar, I worked as a coder on GTA Vice City, so I know a thing or two about making great games!.. But don't forget the apps, I have over 100M downloads of my apps, maybe you have seen PicCollage? A program which grew from a sunday evening project in my spare time to over 100M downloads, check it out on google play. I have been freelancing in software since the mid 90's (not a fan of offices!) and have delivered products to over 100 clients.

The job market for programmers is in turmoil at the moment with the AI bubble, many of us are scrambling to upwork to find something, anything. So I have lowered my hourly rate from 70 to 60us. So now is a good time to strike, plus price can be discussed later. So why wait, jump in now let's build your dream project!.. If you are interested in making a game see my profile, there is a section called Unity Work with many videos of completed projects. If you are after an app see the section on Android/iPhone work, many many finished and awesome apps in there. Each section of my profile here also links to a dedicated website showing further projects.

Thanks!

Gareth Murfin. Professional App & Game Developer from UK

I have been developing apps, games and websites for almost 30 years. Main experience includes over 15 years of Java, Android, Unity, C#. I also have experience in Kotlin, Flutter and more.

While freelancing I have worked on many big apps such as CBBC Buzz, Royal Ascot, Alton Towers, PicCollage (over 100M downloads), Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes and many more. In house I have worked at Rockstar Studios on the GTA games and DC Studios on mobile titles like Ice Age. I have spent time as a full time software engineer for British Telecom. I hold a BSc and MSc in Computing Science (Stirling University) and have many accolades in software and game development, including Young UK Software Engineer Of The Year in 2001.

These days I specialise in C# (.net, blazor, winforms etc), and Unity. I am very interested in developing desktop apps, mobile apps, websites, and games (including VR, AR). I am a passionate programmer who can easily work alone or in a team and get the job done efficiently using clean, modern code.

I have released many apps on the various stores and developed games which are licensed by Nintendo. I have knowledge of virtually all levels of software engineering, including backend, interacting with APIs, databases, UI design etc.

Please consider me for this role, I will do my best to succeed wherever I am placed, and I take pride in being a master of code. All of my work is documented on my website, but for now see "Unity Work" and "Android/iPhone apps" on my profile (links are just below).

Thanks for reading, let's do this!..
Gaz.
