Graduated from the Computer Games Technology course in 2007, with a BSc. (with distinction) and Honours (1st class), along with 3 consecutive court medals (2005/6/7) for distinguished academic achievement. My honours project was entitled "Dynamic autocomposition of music for interactive systems", and was supervised by Bobby Geary.

I participated in Dare To Be Digital in 2006 (between 3rd and 4th year of my degree), in team Phaigo Interactive. We produced the game "Spaceport" which picked up multiple awards.

After my degree, I worked as a full-time Research Assistant for a year, during which time I was the lead developer of the open source SLOODLE project. I am now doing that part-time, whilst being the President of the Research Students' Society, and pursuing a full-time PhD in educational technology, supervised by Daniel Livingstone. Working title for my thesis:

"Applying user centred design principles to the integration of web-based virtual learning environments and immersive virtual worlds"

Also worth mentioning that I'm a committed Christian, I love my piano, and I gain a worrying level of satisfaction from elegant programming, especially if it involves C++, pointers, dynamic polymorphism, and/or template metaprogramming. :)
