Senior Games Developer
Mutant Labs.
Mutant Labs are an independent studio that specialises in high-quality games for mobile and desktop. My tenure at Mutant Labs has given me a great opportunity to hone my skills as a leading member of a team. I was responsible for pioneering the development of the studio's biggest intellectual property to date; Yak Dash: Horns of Glory (released on iOS & Android). Yak Dash is an online racing game (built with Unity) that incorporates Mutant Labs' unique multiplayer engine, GhostSync. I solely developed this unique technology in order to eradicate latency issues during mobile gameplay - it has since been relicensed by an acclaimed animation studio for further game projects. As well as commanding a technical
team, I also took lead on introducing emerging technologies to the studio.

TwoFour.
TwoFour are a well established television production company. My main focus at TwoFour was on AS3 (Flash) & web development. I worked on some fantastic projects for the likes of Channel 4, BBC, VW & The National Grid. A highlight of my time at the company was to be given sole responsibility for redeveloping the TwoFour Group website, where I successfully centralised the many subsidiaries of TwoFour into a more sophisticated, content managed system - the core features of which are still in use today.
