I build worlds — in engines, on timelines,
and lately, in copper.
2015 · University of Kent
Every build starts with a question.
I went to Kent to study Psychology — a year inside attention, memory and motivation, finished properly and banked as an undergraduate diploma. Then I changed course, literally.
It turned out to be the most useful year I didn't continue: everything I've designed since — interfaces, levels, edits — is applied psychology with better lighting.

Now · The Electrical Trade
By day I carry BS 7671 and a torque screwdriver.
I'm building a career in the electrical trade from the tools up — installations, boards, testing. The destination is Electrical Design Engineer: the person who draws the systems others wire.
Same instinct as game development. Design the system. Respect the constraints. Ship something safe.
