Joshua Cochrane

Freelance Minecraft Plugin Developer

• Developed a modular Minecraft server plugin in Java that introduced a series of customizable commands for converting lower-tier items (e.g., ingots) into condensed forms (e.g., blocks).
• Implemented a config-driven system that allowed server owners to dynamically define commands with unique permissions, messages, and item conversions — all without modifying the codebase.

University of Staffordshire

I am a first year (level 4) student studying BSc (Hons) Computer Games Development at University of Staffordshire, where I focus primarily on in-engine development work. I work with industry standard tools like Unity and Unreal, and have the opportunity to collaborate with artists and designers to build my professional portfolio.

Loughborough College

I completed a BTEC Level 3 in Creative Media Practise for Games Development at Loughborough College, where I got hands on experience with tools like Unreal Engine 5, Blender, and the Adobe creative suite. I developed game projects to build a portfolio and gained a strong foundation in creative and technical skills.
