Designer
I've enjoyed graphic design since my early days using Deluxe Paint on the Amiga.
When it comes to pixels - I sweat the small stuff!
These days I spend most of my design time prototyping in Figma and working with vector art.
Beyond this, though, I'm hugely passionate about user experience and hold a Google UX Design certification.
I've learnt the importance of consistent and predictable design systems, and understanding the user to truly solve their problems, keep them engaged and communicate with them clearly.
Programmer
Through my career I've specialised in full-stack app development and distributed build systems.
Today, I prefer to focus on good UX and the front-end with React.js and Typescript.
That said, I still have a strong interest in back-end and cyber security.
I’ve held lead and management roles for a number of years and enjoy building efficient Agile teams, but I remain very much hands-on with development.
Games Developer
I've spent over a decade in the video games industry, releasing 12 titles across consoles, PC and mobiles.
Games have been a life-long passion of mine and I've had the opportunity to work on some renowned series like Crysis, Dead Space and Avakin Life, a popular social network reaching over 1.5 million daily players.
I was honored to be nominated for the Game Dev Heroes award and won Amazon's Developer Spotlight for a personal mobile game.
