ABOUT ME
Friendly IT Consultant with 8+ years experience
Friendly IT Consultant with 8+ years experience

I personally managed the IT systems of a multinational business from 2013-2020, learning how to work under pressure, deliver timely results, and - perhaps most importantly - to see past the raw specifications and into the heart of a project, creating solutions that truly meet the needs of the client.

Software development is more than just a job to me - it is an adventure into the grand possibilities that technology offers, an opportunity to create something both useful and beautiful. I love to share in the passion of my clients, to bring their ideas to life with highly intuitive, user-friendly systems that can still deliver advanced functionality.

Lead the backend asset pipeline project (which powered the cross-platform "Tech Companion" Unity app), adding support for 30+ 3d model, image, and audio types with various plugin integrations as well as designing/implementing numerous integrated workcard processors for custom client data (that is, clients provided their base data as-is and I made dynamic processors to recreate improved, interactive versions of their output data within the app, ready for active field work).
