About Me

If you're interested in me, I've been a game developer since 12, a teacher since 16, and a photographer since 20. I'm definitely a programmer, I'm generally art capable, and I've done at least a little bit of everything! These days I work as a Mixed Reality evangelist/engineer for Microsoft, (views are my own!) where I get to work with and talk about all sorts of exciting tech!

My initial inspiration to create games came from books! I wanted to tell stories, and games seemed like the perfect medium. Later on, Morrowind was a very strong inspiration, I spent many years trying to create something of similar size and scope. I never finished that project, but it provided me with a very solid technical foundation. My favorite game recently is The Witcher 3, and while creating something similar is also unlikely for an individual developer, it has strongly influenced my research into procedural content tech!
