Whilst working at IBM I founded and managed a game development team of twenty people. I then established XMPT Games in 2012 with four other team members and was elected Director.I am one of two developers within the team. Since the company\'s creation, we have released two main titles on Playstation Vita, and a newer release for PC via Steam named DiscStorm This title is due to be release on PS4 and PSVita shortly. More recently, we have begun work on a 3D VR project for the HTC Vive.We have a number of other accolades to our name too, including- Finalists in Sony\'s Playstation Pioneers 2012- Top 15 out of 500+ entries in Ludum Dare 2015- Top 10 out of 250+ in the 2013 Indie Speed Run- Winners of the 2013 Creative Assembly Game Jam at Rezzed.In addition to development, I have been responsible for composing the majority of our music and handling the business side of the company. All of this has been achieved using only my spare time, whilst working full time as a software engineer at IBM and Investec.
