I make software and games
Swords & Shadows is a top down hack 'n' slash inspired by Zelda and Diablo. This game was a chance for me to explore different components of the Unity 3D game engine. The game implemented AI pathfinding, visual effects, animations and FMOD audio integration. I learnt invaluable project management skills and found my favourite tools - GitHub, Trello and Slack.

Dungeon Crawl is a turn-based multiplayer adventure game that was commissioned by N-Dream. The game was built in Unity 3D and uses the AirConsole API to allow mobile devices to be used as controllers. Implementing an improved build process allowed us to support multiple platforms including WebGL and Android. The project was a huge success and the game is currently number one on the AirConsole platform.

I love making software and games. My most successful game is Dungeon Crawl - a multiplayer dungeon adventure which is one of the top games on the AirConsole platform. I’m proficient with Godot, Unity 3D, C# .NET, JavaScript and enjoy using frameworks such as .NET MAUI and React. My IDE of choice is Visual Studio and I’m comfortable using Git and TFS. I’m always looking for exciting new software projects that encourage me to explore new technologies!
I talk a lot about video games, but I also love playing board games with my close group of friends. Some of our favourites include One Night Ultimate Werewolf and Saboteur. I tend to do a lot of cooking at home, which I find really enjoyable, as well as working down at the allotment.
