I am a computer games programmer at Ground Shatter, developers of RICO and Skyscrappers. Since joining the company I have contributed to a number of projects including Fights In Tight Spaces, a turn-based, deck-building brawler, which will be released in Q3 2020.

 

I have a degree in computer games technology from the University of Portsmouth, specialising in computer games programming.

 

I have several other passions outside of programming. My first novel, The Reality Exchange, was published recently. I am also a hobbyist artist with a love for 2D digital illustration. Indeed I enjoy many forms of creative expression.

​

As a result of my involvement in the community around Elite: Dangerous from Frontier Developments, I have attended multiple conventions as a guest. Frontier invited me to be a community ambassador at EGX 2015 and paid for my attendance for the full 4-day event. I introduced hundreds of people to Elite's PvP arena mode every day and I livestreamed the game from the event as well. I was also invited to Lavecon and FantastiCon, community-hosted events focused primarily on Elite: Dangerous. I gave a speech at the first FantastiCon and was a guest on a selection of panels at later events. I will be launching my novel at the 2020 virtual FantastiCon.
