Developer, Nerd, Fan of Pigeons

With eight years experience as a creative developer, I deeply enjoy the problem solving aspect of the work, as well as streamlining and optimising projects. I drive to take a holistic view of a project, as the wider context often provides insights into how something will best come together.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

ZAPPAR: SENIOR DEVELOPER

June 2016 - February 2025

I started at Zappar as a Creative Content Developer, being promoted to Senior Developer in 2019. In addition to developing XR projects, as a senior developer my role involved line management of the development team which at its peak consisted of directly managing seven developers. 

 

During my time at Zappar, I saw several changes in workflow and wider context. From the shift from app-based and whitelabel deliverables to the appearance and adoption of WebAR. Beyond that, my workflow went through several wide-sweeping changes, going from using in-house development and authoring software to a new software suite powered by Three.js.
