Hi I'm Sam Robertson

A software developer and Games Technology graduate specialising in gameplay programming, app development, and user‑focused digital experiences.

I’ve spent the last five years building projects across C++, C#, Python, and Dart/Flutter, releasing multiple games on Itch.io and contributing to a TIGA‑nominated student title. My work spans Unreal Engine, Unity, and Flutter, from AI systems and gameplay mechanics to mobile UI development and real‑world app tools.

I enjoy creating polished, intuitive systems — whether that’s a puzzle mechanic, a media‑tracking app, or a clean UI flow for a client project. I’m currently expanding into cloud fundamentals and applying that knowledge to my personal apps.

This portfolio showcases the projects that represent my growth, my technical range, and the kind of developer I’m becoming...

App Projects

Flutter

GeekHobbyApp

A Flutter-based mobile app for discovering and organising gaming and anime collections, with more types of media looking to be added.

Features include a swipe-based suggestion system, multi-collection management, interactive spin wheel for decision-making, and intelligent API caching. Integrates RAWG Games API (REST) and AniList API (GraphQL) with local Hive database persistence. Implements rate limiting, franchise grouping, and offline functionality with clean architecture patterns.

Tech Stack: Flutter, Dart, REST & GraphQL APIs, Hive NoSQL, Custom State Management

What I'm working on now

Currently, I am juggling multiple projects to practice and further develop my skills. These are the main projects I've been focusing on...

C++, Computer Science, Python etc.

CS50 Harvard Course

I have been auditing this course to refamiliarise myself with general coding and software practices.

(UE5) Optimisation, Bug fixes, Release to Steam preparation

Temple Trouble

After Uni, some of us have decided to progress with development and we are aiming towards a Steam release. My focus has been on bug fixing and optimising.

(UE5) First person horror game

Arctic horror (Ue5)

As a 3-man group, our game consists of prehistoric creatures being awoken in the Arctic due to climate change. So far, I've been involved with the gameplay mechanics behind the torch, animation/loco-motion, and enemy AI behaviour.

(Unity) (UE5)

More Game Jams

I’ve joined several game jams, with the most recent themed around loops. Our team created a platformer where players use the bodies of their previous attempts to progress through levels.
