I've worked in video games since 1997, both as a developer making games and at platforms helping studios succeed, and I'm now with the Business Development team at Epic Games Europe, working with folks using Unreal Engine.Before Epic I led the design, development and live operations of free-to-play mobile racing IP 'Race Kings', which received iOS App Store banner placement in the US, UK and over 100 other countries.Previously I ran the dev team for free-to-play phenomenon 'CSR Racing', converting it to an ongoing service with long-term profitability, through competitive analysis, metrics, and game mechanic and UI design. That followed four years at Microsoft, where I was a founding member of the Xbox European developer relations team and built a network of hundreds of Xbox developers across the region.And before that I was a programmer at Bullfrog, ran the 'Fable' scripting team at Lionhead, and produced PC/console games in Australia.Very well connected with European developers and publishers at senior levels. Deep knowledge of game development across traditional and free-to-play.Long engagement with wider industry through conference advisory boards, publications, conference speaking, career evangelism, STEMNET, the Creative Skillset council, and the BAFTA awards.

Producer, 'Heroes Over Europe'Ir Gurus/Transmission Games May 2007 - Sep 2008On completing Heatseeker I took over development of the company's biggest project, 'Heroes Over Europe'. At the time employing 40 people, who had been working for over a year, and later reaching nearly 60, and with a number of major challenges to overcome, I did major work on the budget, the production schedule and the game content, and reorganised the team into smaller feature teams to improve focus and ownership. I took the game through the bulk of production, leaving a few months before launch to return to the UK.

Producer, 'Heatseeker'Ir Gurus/Transmission Games Feb 2006 - Apr 2007Producer, Project Manager and overseer of the design direction for Heatseeker, an arcade-action jet fighter game for PS2, Wii and PSP, released in March 2007. Taking a short high-concept from our publisher (big explosions, glorifying and worshipping jets) and working closely with them, I took complete ownership of the project's development internally, directing many aspects of the design to make an exciting, action-packed, accessible and spectacular game, creating and maintaining the schedule, and managing the daily needs of 30 full-time staff. Heatseeker started as a short-term slot-filler project for the publisher but we made it into much more: a high-class, highly marketable contender, an exciting and timely early title for the Wii, with some excellent coverage, helping to develop our studio's relationship with that publisher. Together with a great team I'm very proud of what we achieved.
