About

I'm a developer, researcher, and academic originally from North Wales. Based in Staffordshire, I love working on interesting projects and unique problems involving software and video games. My specialist areas include developing virtual reality experiences, Entity-Component Systems, optimisation, computer graphics, games development and motion simulation.
