I joined the Game Experience Squad as a Software Engineer, working in a front-end developer role. Dealing with React, HTML and CSS along with pixi.js. Using my pixi.js knowledge I was instantly able to help with anything on the Prize Machine. As well as picking up any other tickets or giving a hand to other developers through pair programming.
After rising to Senior Software Engineer I took ownership of the Minigame projects and worked with product owners, marketing and design to see new projects from design all the way through to fruition. Writing tickets, creating specifications, working with and delegating to other developers to help with the day to day workload. I continued to work on other parts of the codebase as well, including writing proof of concepts and experiments to help improve the user experience.
Looking to stretch and develop my skillset I have taken a secondment opportunity to work on a react native mobile app, DIBZ. Working with a team based in Portugal.

I was put in charge of creating the new front-end framework, capable of handling 2D & 3D graphics on desktop and mobile. Using modern javascript technologies, such as: ES6, ESLint, JSDoc, Jest, pixi.js and three.js.
At the start I was the sole developer so I concentrated on making a solid foundation by creating the git workflow, coding style and standards as well as writing tests and documentation.

Hired to work within a small team to create high quality omni-slot games. I quickly picked up the libraries, frameworks and workflow allowing me to hit the ground running and start creating games as soon as possible. I was making contributions to the framework within the first week and took it upon myself to oversee the maintenance of one of the internal libraries.

Using Angular, Typescript and Ionic. I picked up the project and became the lead on a large app for home security. Working from home I had to manage my time effectively, plan milestones and keep the client up to date with progress.

I started working using Dubit's own internal scripting language, I soon began working to help create games and apps, starting in AS3 and soon moving to Javascript, Haxe and C#. I had to learn quickly and pick up the skills necessary as I worked.

The Fat Friendly Seat is a campaign to get more accessibility information from theatres. All the design and programming has been undertaken in my free time. Tech stack: Typescript, NextJS, React, SCSS, Prisma and Docker.

A local community choir approached me asking if I could help create a poster to help attract new members. The new design was well-received, the choir has asked for my help on multiple occasions. Allowing me to create several posters, a logo, flyers and a pop-up banner design for various events all with the same branding.

I was approached by a local school to design and create a snail racing game they could use for fund raising events. Tech stack: Typescript and pixi.js.

In my spare time I am working on a small social card game. I've designed and developed it, with playtesting done with friends. The aim is to self-publishing in the near future.
