Summary
Steven Tupper is a Junior Software Developer and Computer Science Honours graduate based in the Western Cape with eight years of practical experience building maintainable software at Property24 and mentoring third-year games students at the University of Cape Town. He blends interests in machine learning, game AI, encryption, API design, and computational efficiency to create solutions that balance performance, readability, and flexibility. Comfortable across practical systems and theoretical algorithm design, he favors object-oriented principles even in game development to keep code approachable for collaborators. Side projects—like an evolving game AI that recovers rapidly from bad mutations and a C++ in-memory encrypted array—illustrate his focus on robustness, security, and clever trade-offs.
