## About
I'm a [Game Arts and Design](#education) degree student with a chosen area of focus on the design, lighting, and rendering of 3D environments. Using either real-time or offline rendering techniques in software packages such as Blender and Unreal Engine. In addition to this I also have an interest in web development, graphic design, and cyber security which make up a large part of my hobbies. My current portfolio of work can be found on my website at [troylusty.com/projects](/projects).
My role has me in charge of managing an online e-commerce store in addition to creating, editing, and publishing informational YouTube and social media content for a family run outdoors store. This includes the recent branding redesign, migration of content to Shopify, and any maintenance or general upkeep of the site with all its related systems, such as the self-hosted analytics platform.
