WHO AM I?
Hi, I’m Ash - a game developer and designer who’s passionate about building playful, polished, and purposeful experiences.
What started as a teenage obsession with Flash games has grown into a versatile career in software development, with a strong focus on interactive systems, UI/UX design, and backend integration. I specialize in creating engaging digital products using Unity, Firebase, and modern development workflows, and I’m always looking for smart, scalable ways to bring ideas to life.
​
I thrive on solving complex problems, collaborating across disciplines, and crafting user experiences that feel intuitive and satisfying. Whether I’m optimizing performance, leading a team, or mentoring new developers, I bring a curious mindset, a practical eye for detail, and a down-to-earth approach to every project.
HOW DID I GET HERE?
I’ve always had a very curious mind, often tinkering, taking things apart, and 3D printing (mostly useless fidget toys). I have vivid memories of taking apart my first Xbox 360 back in 2008 after getting the dreaded red ring of death… Fortunately, the console was only caked in dust and just needed a good clean! But I view this pivotal moment as a spawning point of my curiosity for how things work. This fascination crept into many areas of my life, including gaming, leading me down a path of Flash game development, all the way through to where I am today, graduating uni with First Class Honours in Computer Games Development and working in the games industry!
Alongside all things gaming and tech, I’m also a massive lover of physical music formats. Collecting since 2014, I’ve amassed an extensive vinyl record collection with a large focus on the indie-rock band, The Killers. I also enjoy playing guitar, going to gigs, and attending music festivals in the nicer months.
