Brighton-based Freelance Creative Technologist

Interactive / Experiential

OpenFrameworks, Processing, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Houdini, JavaScript...

Installations for galleries, museums, parks and other public spaces; including the V&A, National Portrait Gallery, Bestival, EMF festival, the BFI, Cleveland Museum of Art and the Science Museum. Music videos and live visuals for major acts you've probably heard of, and FX for a Disney film you probably haven't. I have stories.

Web

Front end and back end. JavaScript, HTML, CSS on the front, mainly PHP/MySQL or node.js on the back. And, yes, I do GenAI. And I know my way around all the modern scalable platforms (Azure/GoogleCloud/AWS). More than full-stack, I specialise in getting taciturn technologies to talk to each other. I also like working with data-scientists and API mashing.

Games

Engines: Unreal, Unity and, back in the day, Flash. I approach these platforms as a coder (C++, C#), so please shout if you need sophisticated behaviours, complex integrations or impossible hacks. Just don't ask me to light a scene.

Design / Management / Creative

As well as building stuff, I've also done plenty of ideation, creative direction, UX, product design, scoping, pitch work, consultancy and mentorship. I've led development teams and ran projects from conception through to delivery.

Awards

3x Gold BIMAs, 3x MUSE awards, 1x DiMAS award, Finalist for Cannes Design Lions, AIMIA Innovation award and Create Design Project of the Year. Runner up for an Interactive BAFTA, when they were still a thing. Possibly others I don't know about.

In 2010 I wrote a best-selling programming book.

... and I also do databases.
