Currently working at Digital Surgery, developing prototype AR/VR surgical training applications for mobile and headsets. I led the development of Hololens app Holo External Fixation, as part of Microsoft's Mixed Reality Partner Program, and was invited to demo at Microsoft Future Decoded 2018

Erica - Flavourworks

I worked with Flavourworks as an engine and tools engineer on Erica, an upcoming interactive live-action game for PS4.

I was responsible for core engine features (openFrameworks/C++); 3D GUI framework, interactive video scrubbing, dynamic DOF Gaussian blur shaders, Lua integration, profiling and optimisation.

I also led the development of GUI editor tool (Qt/C++), for use by film directors, editors and game designers to rapidly create branching interactive experiences.

Tidy Robots - Squareberry Games

I collaborated with an artist to create 'Tidy Robots', a free-to-play mobile puzzle game. It was developed over a number of years, part-time, weekends and evenings. I was responsible for design, programming, music, and audio.

It was awarded feature placement on the App Store, 100% positive reviews, and an average 4.7/5 user rating.

We teamed up with as publisher, who provided assistance with final art polish, marketing, QA, localisation, and release support.

The Trail - 22cans

The third project I worked on at 22cans. It was selected by Apple as one of the 'top 10 games of 2016', receiving over 20 millions downloads, and overwhelmingly positive reviews.

I worked on the majority of gameplay features, including character and camera controls, 'trail item' interaction, remote terrain streaming, mini-games, and networked multiplayer towns.

I also designed and implemented a system for merging character body part meshes and textures, successfully reducing memory load and GPU drawcalls. This allowed limitless character clothing variations, while maintaining performance when rendering multiple characters on mobile devices.

I worked closely with designers, animators, and artists to create bespoke Unity Editor tools and asset pipelines, and mentored team members on Unity features and software development principles.

Godus - 22cans

The 2nd project I worked on at 22cans. Selected by Apple as 'App Store Best of 2014', and received over 25 million downloads.

I worked on the majority of gameplay features, including the settlements house-clumping, and the 'land manipulation' feature. For the latter, I designed a custom algorithm for applying user deformations to a procedural terrain.

Other responsibilities included gameplay features, user input, multi-threaded spatial partitioning, and profiling & optimisation.

Curiosity - 22cans

The first project I worked on at 22cans was Curiosity, which received over 5 million downloads and overwhelmingly positive reviews. I was involved in all areas of development, including gameplay, network logic, UI, profiling and optimisation, IAP, and social media integration.
