More about me

Game developer with over a decade of shipped games across HTML5, Roblox, mobile and VR. I've built and led HTML5 games from first prototype to release, including educational games played by millions of children in 20+ languages. In studio teams I've built branded Roblox experiences for Lunchables, NASCAR, L'Oréal and Manchester City and original VR games for Meta Horizon Worlds. I also write custom software for scientific research, and I'm growing into Unity XR, exploring new kinds of VR interaction.
