I am now working as an independent programmer specialising in handhelds.
My projects include:

• Herbie: Fully Loaded (GBA) for Disney, USA - a film-licensed 3D racing game.
• Downforce (GBA) for Titus, France - a 3D racing game
based loosely on a PS2 original.
• NFL Blitz 20-02 (GBA) for Midway, USA - an American football game
for which I wrote the 3D engine.

A purely programming role. I worked on:

A games development house grown from an initial staff of four, developing
Amiga and ST titles, to a PC developer employing eighteen people. Throughout
this time I ran the programming and art teams for the company, managing seven
programmers and six artists by mid-1998, as well as fulfilling a lead programmer
role. Projects for the company included:
• Zeewolf (Amiga) - a 3D helicopter action game for which I wrote the
entire game engine including all rendering and AI code.
• Zeewolf 2 (Amiga) - sequel to the above.
• Star Trek: New Worlds (PC) for Interplay - a 3D real-time strategy
game based on the classic Star Trek franchise.
