My Past
I’m originally from Yorkshire, England and I was known as the computer whizz-kid in my local town. I set up my own web design company at the age of 13, which I re-branded as TidalWare at 16. I spent several years developing a C++ game engine which ended up as a ridiculously complex game called Gravity Animals that I released on the iOS app store. At the age of 20 I was hired by Appcelerator for a 13 month internship in Silicon Valley, California. The photo above is me in LA aged 21 during my internship. I then graduated with a degree in Computer Games Programming.
My Present
Over the last few years I’ve worked for several top companies, both as an employee and as a contractor. Recently I helped to build a platform for renewable energy installers, since which over 50k renewable energy installations have been completed. I have invested a lot of time in trying to do what I can with my skills to mitigate climate change.
