Available for work
I studied BSc Games Programming at Staffordshire University and graduated with a first-class degree in 2021. Since then I've worked professionally as a developer and built tools on the side. Unity assets, web apps, game engines.
Whether it's crafting Unity Asset Store tools, experimenting with AI, or optimising a game engine, I thrive on problem-solving and creating tools that make life easier for developers.
I focus on practical tools with real-world value: privacy-first, local-first, and designed for people who build things. I believe the best tools are invisible. They just work.
I'm also interested in AI-assisted game development. Building systems that help creative workflows rather than replacing them.
