Bio: Originally from the lovely (but dangerous!) part of the East Midlands known as Nottingham, I moved to Stafford when I enrolled on the Computer Games Programming BEng at Staffordshire University, which I believe is the best computer games development degree in the UK. I love technology, from the smallest transistor to the biggest supercomputer, which is lucky really, as I spent the last year working at IBM Hursley Software Development Labs as a technical intern, developing build tools for IBM's z/OS releases of their Websphere MQ product family.

My main passion is in Gaming though. I can't say that i'm an "old-school" gamer, as the first console I owned was a Playstation 1 in the late 90's, but I am passionate about game development and changes in gaming medium and technology. I love MMOs and RPGs, racing games and old-school Crash Bandicoot style platformers, to name but a few.

My primary expertise are in modern application development. This allows me to utilise languages such as C++, C# and Java, as well as having experience using supplementary APIs such as DirectX, OpenGL and the XNA platform. I have developed for both Console (XBOX 360) and PC, and am proficient in the use of IDEs such as Visual Studio, Netbeans, Eclipse and Expression Studio. Some of the projects I have undertaken utilising these skills can be seen on this website.
