About

I've been brought up around computers since I was child, and I still have fond memories of playing games like Dizzy the Egg and Fun School on my Amstrad CPC 464. Since then I've been a avid gamer and technophile. I've since owned various game consoles from an Atari 2600 to my Gamecube, Xbox and more (all of which I still own).

I was drawn to Flash games and learnt my first programming skills in actionscript at the age of 14. After that I attended University at Wales Aberystwyth, achieving a degree in Computer Science and Artifical Intelligence. I always wanted to be a games developer and had my heart set on making games and building something millions of people could enjoy.

After University, I managed to land my first job at Zoë Mode, working on the Disney Sing It! karaoke games franchise. Since then I've worked for Mediatonic, Ubisoft and Hutch Games.
