Worked as a contractor through Hashbang Games for Square Enix Montral and then Onoma, for its short life, on the Hitman Sniper: The Shadows game. Initially focused on developing in-editor toolsets for the various teams which accelerated their design and development cycle and brought many quality-of-life improvements to the toolset to further enable designers and the rest of the team to meet deadlines and perform their roles with less risk.Later in my time with SEM I worked closely with the design team to develop the in-game Kill Camera as well as feature cameras to showcase various aspects of the game.

I had the privilege of establishing and leading a dynamic game development studio. With an exceptional crew of talented developers and artists, we were able to execute on a range of engaging and successful projects. As the studio founder, I fostered a collaborative environment that allowed our team to grow and ultimately equip the various interns and grads we onboarded for the future. Firmly believing in quality over crunch, we were able to timely deliver outstanding solutions on both client driven and internal projects.With an eye on the future, we developed groundbreaking tech demos and prototypes for Intel depth cameras, including Perceptual and RealSense. Our work also extended to creating AR enhanced iOS games, promoting consumer brands like Tasty Brand.We assisted with porting games to PS4, as well as our own VR Projects originally for the vive but ported to PSVR within a matter of months. Our collaboration with SomaGames for the IP & Intel for the Hardware Technology resulted in a captivating 'Sandbox' Projection Mapped tower defense game using RealSense technology, showcased at GDC '16.At Kaio Interactive, we turned dreams into reality, combining innovation, collaboration, and technical expertise. I'm immensely proud of the impact we made and the exceptional team that brought these achievements to life.

Established in the UK, Jumping world studios had a number of successes including developing the prototype Waterrower Regatta, a race simulation which connected many Waterrower owners across networks to allow for competitive racing at venues.Another successful project was the Farmer Pete edutainment title for mobiles, which leveraged the great content of Number Fun and in particular the engaging songs which taught numeracy for children aged 3-11 from Dave Godfrey and the Farmer Pete character.
