Originally from Carlisle, Keith completed his degree in Computer Science at the University of Derby in 2015. His programming interest started when he was 10 as merely a curiosity asking "How are games made?" to a family friend who then sent him a CD full of tutorials and examples. Since then he's branched out into a myriad of different programming languages, with the bulk of his experience in C++. He hit the ground running in his working life, as his university placement year was spent in Oxford working for the Science and Technology Facilities Council, where he helped write MantidPlot, a piece of scientific software that was used in the UK and USA for analysing data from particle accelerators. Outside of work he enjoys anime and gaming, so much in fact he helps run two local anime groups in Nottingham and Derby and is training as a Magic: The Gathering judge at a local gaming store.
