Day-to-day, I code 'rich interactive' things in HTML5, JavaScript and WebGL.
Having worked for over fifteen years in the field of web-based, app-based and 'rich-interactive' development, I've been exposed to a vast number of tools and workflows across a range of platforms. In this time I’ve always remained open to learning new approaches, researching widely to select the most appropriate tools for any given brief. I’m a creative ideas person, technologist, visual creator, team leader, communicator, technical writer, and all-round problem-solver in the digital media domain. These days I work with your artists and producers on the development side of things, collaboratively building playful products for the web using native technologies: HTML5, JavaScript and WebGL.

IoT/'Maker' movement – I’ve studied a lot ‘outside of work’ in this field, and have developed a number of (Raspberry Pi based) remotely controlled vehicles from scratch, presenting these at a 'maker' faire (2015) and to a STEM extracurricular session (AMEX Stadium, 2016)
Teaching and presentation - I regularly work with an outdoor club teaching bush/campcraft skills to kids age 5-15. Historically I've also delivered sessions delivering STEM education to students aspiring to work in the games industry (via DV8 Sussex, and to a visiting Norwegian college)
