Sensible Object

At Sensible Object I was responsible for the development of Beasts of Balance: Battles, a major expansion to the Beasts of Balance base game. I took ownership of the legacy C# codebase, addressing technical debt where necessary, adapting existing code for expansion, and implementing procedures to ensure the continual improvement of the codebase

Induction is an abstract puzzle game about time travel and paradoxes. As you master its logic, Induction aims to rewire how you think about cause and effect. Induction is my first title as an independent developer and I was responsible for all aspects of its production.

Hide&Seek

I helped Hide&Seek to develop this pair of mobile titles, applying my existing Flash knowledge to AIR on iOS. I rapidly revised features in response to feedback from our external partner, and I was able to quickly adapt to using Objective-C and PHP where and when the project required.

King

While at King, I helped develop both mobile and browser versions of Pepper Panic Saga. I developed the component-entity architecture that allowed straightforward code reuse between the studio's in-development titles, and was a member of the team responsible for porting the browser version of Pepper Panic Saga to Android and iOS.

At Bossa Studios I served as lead developer of Merlin The Game. I ensured the game was delivered on schedule with an architecture that would support post-launch additons for the lifetime of the game, as well as mentored the team's three other client developers.

I was one of the key developers on Playfish's Facebook adaptation of The Sim francise, first as a member of the small team building the foundations of the game, and then as lead of one of the development sub-teams as production expanded. I was responsible for maintaining code quality standards, and had shared responsibility for refining the feature and technical backlogs. I had input on most areas of the game, in particular I worked closely with a designer on the prototype of the Relationship system, and produced the draft design and final implementation of the Quest system.
