I have always been fascinated with computers and technology. I have taken particular interest in computer architecture - stemming from my play-through of the game "Turing Complete" in which you build a Turing complete computer out of basic logic gates - and in Artificial Intelligence. My interest in the latter was sparked not only by recent developments but also by a series of books by Roger Penrose on the topic of whether computers will ever achieve true consciousness, my opinion (and his) being that it is impossible for them to do so.

Some of my work


Infinite Runner Game

Taking inspiration from the popular game Subway Surfers, I created a randomly generated endless-runner game. I programmed the game in C# using the Unity game engine. This project helped to strengthen my coding skills. The game is currently free to download on itch.io


Orbit Game

This is an original game idea I came up with and made into reality in C# using the Unity Game Engine. The game's mechanics are fully worked through, but I have a few more level ideas I want to implement before I publish it. You control a rocket that navigates through the orbits of different stars to reach home (Earth). I have attached below early development footage of the project.


Stealth AI Startup

I am currently working on an AI mobile app and website, the details of which I am currently not ready to release. This project utilises OpenAI's GPT API and the .NET MAUI Blazor cross-platform framework.
