New
CurveTime
Eight players, one arena, and a line you must not touch.
Your ship never stops moving and never stops drawing, and every trail is a permanent wall. Slip through the gaps, grab powerups that seal the arena or fatten your line into a monster, and outlive the lobby.
Rounds take a minute, matches take five, grudges last all night. Plays in any browser, on your phone, or inside Discord with your whole voice channel in one lobby.

Roblox experiment
Book Sort Rush
Shelve the books before the library shuts.
Simple to explain, impossible to explain why it's this stressful. Sort and return books at speed, with PvP, high-score levels and a full-speed obstacle course.
An experimental test rather than a full release. It's up, it works, and we keep poking at it.

What I specialise in
App development
From prototype to production.
Fourteen years of shipping real products: Twitch extensions, a livestreaming platform with apps on iOS and Android, web apps and live-ops tooling. I prototype fast to find out if an idea works, then build the version that has to hold up with millions of people using it.
Game development
Small games, made properly.
CurveTime, a browser and Discord arena game for eight players. Book Sort Rush on Roblox. A BAFTA nominated VR game for Adventure Time, and a trivia title that's still under wraps. Short sessions, quick to learn, hard to put down.
VR/AR development
Headsets, viewers and murals.
VR and AR work going back to the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard days: a BAFTA nominated Adventure Time VR game, conference experiences for AT&T and Akamai, an AR mural for IBM, and a 5G table tennis robot for Vodafone.
Livestreaming
Live, interactive, at scale.
Quiz Kit put live gameshows into Twitch streams for 3.5 million monthly users. Moar was a livestreaming platform built from scratch. I've run custom live shows for the Premier League, Warframe's TennoCon and Jagex, and I'm now working on video streaming analysis tech.
Trivia question writing
Thousands of questions, and counting.
6,000+ for Moar Trivia, a full set for an unannounced trivia title, and thousands more for live shows with Jagex, Warframe and the Premier League. Hard but fair, properly researched, and written to be unGoogleable.
Education & lecturing
Teaching the next lot.
I taught cyber security and computer science at UA92 on Lancaster University courses, and I still teach. I also built an educational VR tour of the universe with astronomer Mark Thompson, used in live stage shows and museum exhibits.
Start-ups
Co-founded, funded, launched.
I co-founded Codices Interactive and led teams of up to twenty people through new product launches. Along the way I raised over £4m in pre-delivery funding, launched Quiz Kit to 3.5 million monthly users, and built Moar from scratch.
R&D
New systems, tested on real audiences.
I've built and developed new systems to deliver live interactive video to millions of users, and completed academic research alongside it. Right now that includes video streaming analysis tech for a project that hasn't been announced yet.
