I’m a multi-skilled software developer and creative with years of experience designing and producing realtime-based projects, ranging from training simulations to videogames. With tools including C#, Unity, Blender and Javascript, I have created software for a range of platforms, with a particular specialisation in Virtual Reality.

Developing software independently has let me discover my passion for the process, from the early stages of design to the implementation of technical solutions. Developing a VR firefighting training simulation for my Masters Project was a fascinating challenge; I chose to research a specialist area, build technical and experiential solutions in parallel, and ultimately create complex simulation systems and 3D assets.

I consider collaboration to be priceless in any project. Inviting others to provide perspective on my design and vision, as well as make their own technical and creative contributions, is always exciting to me. I enjoy outlining specific aspects of a project to a new collaborator, allowing them to contribute effectively and with maximal clarity on our goals.

My other passions include music and writing: I am part of two bands and have contributed to a recently released album. I have also published my own music, and co-host a podcast about game design. Several scripts I have written have been produced, either as radio plays or short films.
