Areas of Interest

Physics Programming

• Constructed the physics engine used in the game Amalgamation. Primarily worked on rigid body collision detection and response. My work also included spatial data structure construction and collision detection.

Artificial Intelligence Programming 

• Created a city simulation during my time at Framestore which included a full artificial traffic  system.  Have additionally studied pathfinding over a number of world representations including grids and navigation meshes. Also constructed an AI for the first StarCraft game and created my own volumetric navigation mesh whilst working on my master thesis.

Massively Parallel Processing

• Have been working with GPU programming during large parts of my education. I wrote a real-time ray tracer using massive parallel processing and DirectCompute. The ray tracer was able to simulate a scene in real time that included dynamically animated skeletal meshes, multiple surface  materials and dynamically configurable lighting.

Behaviour Driven Development

• During my time at Lionhead I forefronted the conversion to a Behaviour Driven Development methodology  with regards to software design. This provided me with great insight into how such engineering might be conducted and how to apply it properly to games.

Game Engine Architecture

• The time spent in larger development teams during most of my professional career has given me great experience in engineering for a wide set of customers and requirements. I am particularily interested in creating robust and modular systems that scale well and are flexible to use.
