Over the years, I've accumulated a deep knowledge of their dynamics within gaming. Mood is everything with this medium, and the challenge lies in believably negotiating the flow of the many emotional states games pass through, one I do so through careful planning and collaboration with whoever is leading the design. I have experimented many times with differing technical approaches to audio for games I've worked on - many of which involved setting parameters for custom engines, and side-scripting on my part to make use of them.

As a co-founder of Megadev along with Jon Davies and Mike Tucker, my main duties involve composing music and SFX to professional standards for our games, and additional game design. All administrative and financial tasks were my responsibility during this time.

I was required to generate graphical assets to spec, mostly for the mobile platform. The degree of technical fragmentation in the industry means I needed to be able to co-ordinate and organise assets to work on many different screen sizes, and optimize them for platforms with a wide range of capabilities.

As part of the highly respected IOMO studio, I was charged with generating suitable assets for use in mobile games, and subsequent promotional literature. The ability to understand and adapt to technological strictures was important in this field, due to the ongoing fragmentation and expansion of the mobile market.
