Samuel Appleby

I am a PhD student currently researching machine learning and database technologies, formerly a junior network programmer at Lucid Games Ltd.

As a network programmer at Lucid Games, I became more experienced with REST API. A lot of the work included managing message protocols between the client and the web service, which I maintained. An important aspect of my work was on Unreal's Gauntlet's Automation Framework. Here, I re-adapted the automation tests to communicate and synchromise with the web serivce, allowing for greater control from the network. I also wrote the HTTP request system for this project.

I have been programming for 4 years, achieving first class degrees in MSc Game Engineering and BSc Computer Science from Newcastle University.

I am also comfortable in C#, which I have used for my Unity projects, including my dissertation project for my undergraduate degree (in addition to Gauntlet).

In addition to my university work, I have also produced some applications of my own, such as a Pokémon analyser. My GitHub, containing most of my projects, can be found here.
