Where code, creativity and curiosity meet.
I’m a computing educator, curriculum designer, software developer and writer exploring the spaces between technology, teaching and creative practice. I build software, games, research artefacts and learning experiences to test ideas in public—and to learn what becomes possible when those forms meet.
My current work connects three strands:
- practical software, games and teaching programmes;
- research into responsible technology, decentralised systems and digital commons; and
- creative practice across writing, games and interactive media.
I’m particularly interested in turning concepts into small, usable systems: artefacts that can be played, taught with, examined, challenged and improved.
| Project | What I’m building or exploring |
|---|---|
| The Horizontal Front | A satirical, free and open-source arcade game about collective power, mutual aid and resistance to hierarchical systems. It is also an experiment in building a privacy-respecting, accessible and accountable digital commons. Source and governance → |
| Quizmo | A daily, rapid-fire numerical quiz: ten questions, ten seconds each and four increasingly chaotic layouts. It explores the meeting point between knowledge, reflexes, spatial memory and replayable game design. |
| Introduction to Building 3D Games in Unity | The first in a workshop series that helps learners build 3D games through practical, incremental experimentation. |
My repositories also contain teaching materials, research artefacts and smaller experiments branching from these themes.
I design university modules, intensive bootcamps, assessments, workshops and supporting resources for learners and tutors. My current teaching work includes:
- Creative Process software development bootcamps — eight-week programmes that take new developers from workflows, HTML and CSS through JavaScript, React, testing, deployment and independent projects. An earlier June 2026 edition is also public.
- Data Visualisation Python Companion — practical material supporting postgraduate Data Visualisation and Intelligence study at the University of Roehampton.
- Data Analysis and Research Skills (DA&RS) — curricula, lectures, workshops, assessments and tutor resources that help students reason with evidence and communicate research clearly.
- Creative computing and games — Unity-based teaching that connects programming with narrative, visual design, iteration and collaborative development.
My CV gives the broader context: more than three decades of technical practice, teaching in higher education and career-transition settings, curriculum design, games programming and research.
- TypeScript, JavaScript, React and Next.js for web applications, games and interfaces
- Node.js and Payload for backend and full-stack systems
- Markdown, Pandoc and LaTeX for research, papers and presentations
- Git and GitHub for versioning, publishing and open collaboration
- Design Science Research and iterative prototyping as a methodological backbone
- Small scripts and transparent tooling for the glue between systems
I favour simple, composable stacks whose plumbing I can understand. I stay curious about new tools without treating novelty as a goal in itself.
- writing more functionally in TypeScript, React and Next.js;
- using AI in ways that are useful, legible and responsibly governed;
- finding new ways for software, teaching and writing to shape one another;
- designing games as vehicles for ideas as well as play; and
- carrying research prototypes into dependable, accessible systems.

I’m open to thoughtful discussion, collaboration, critique and the exchange of ideas.
Ship small bets, and learn fast.
I build small enough to discover what matters, learn from what fails and grow what resonates.
