About

Systems that are solid and fun to play

I've worked across the games industry and commercial 3D, from player-facing systems at Rockstar to product configurators, AR apps and browser-based CAD.

I'm most interested in gameplay, systems and AI programming. I like clean, reusable architecture, and I've learned at Rockstar that the best system is often the simplest one that does the job.
