Senior Developer at NSC Creative, part of the National Space Centre in Leicester.
By day, I work on interactive museum exhibitions, XR experiences, and immersive installations that end up being experienced by thousands of visitors. I care a lot about how software, hardware, and physical space come together to create moments that feel memorable rather than just impressive.
Outside of work, I make games, build tools, and generally enjoy poking at systems to see how they work. Years ago that mostly meant writing Minecraft mods; these days it’s a mix of personal game projects, small utilities, and experiments that live somewhere between “useful” and “just interesting”.
I also write occasionally — usually about things I’m building, things I’ve learned the hard way, or topics I find myself thinking about a bit too much. When I’m not at a keyboard, my interests drift toward film photography and cameras, hardware projects, and 3D printing.
