Working on..

Final Defect. An immersive sim game I'm building in UE5. See: https://twitter.com/finaldefect

Ion Alpha. The goal of this is to build a suite of tools for indie developers, to help them research, build and market MVPs. Though it is half-developed, I've decided to first build a game and use the platform to grow it as proof of the platform's value + spread risk on multiple projects.

Stackweaver (stalled, unreleased). Edu platform for full-stack web development. This is a huge multi-year project. The initial release will contain a dev buddy matchmaking system to help people find others to learn and collaborate with. The matchmaker is mostly done but nothing has been deployed yet.

Current tech stack: Kotlin, Ruby, Go, React/Vue/TypeScript, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, RabbitMQ, Redis, Mongo, maybe Kafka in the future.. too many bloody toys!

Background:

I’ve been in web development since around 2008 working across frontend and backend, mostly freelancing but had a full-time job for a few years. Currently travelling, contracting and building side projects.
