University of Brighton
Studied Computer Science for Games, First Class Honours
September 2022 - May 2025
Hi, I'm
Jonathan Collins
I build networked and real-time software.
I graduated with first class honours in Computer Science for Games from the University of Brighton, and I've been coding since I was 10: Python on a Raspberry Pi, Minecraft mods at 12, to my degree at 21. I'm most interested in networking, backend and real-time systems, and I'm looking for software engineering roles where I can work on them.
