About Me

I’m a developer with a background in science and mathematics.

I work in the video game industry and enjoy building playful, expressive systems.

Projects

• Gold Arcade – Indie game studio project.
• Moonies Cereal Co – Abstract lunar farming game.
• RTS Economy Sim – Strategy without combat mechanics.
WebGui (2018) WebGui is a port of Dear IMGUI to WASM with a canvas layer in HTML.

• Urban Design and Visualisation – Creating the ability to fly through detailed environments.
• Euclideon Unlimited Detail
• ❏ Eulcideon Geoverse
Geospatial app with custom point cloud rendering engine. Lidar and geospatial map integration.
• ❏ Roam Interactive
• Virtual flythough solution for architecture. The 3D engine is linked to a database of all properties in the system, and can view interior and exterior of the porperty in the space of virtual reality.
• ❏ Urban Engine
Urban design, 3d visualisation and planning in vritual reality.
• ❏ Road Safety Audit
Automatically check for safety compliance of proposed road networks. The simulation can check sightlines in the 3d environment and compare visibility with stopping distance. The 3d simulation could verify that an obstruction on the road would be visible to a driver from a distance that would allow the driver to stop safely.
• ❏ Gold Coast Light Rail
• The streets of Surfer's Paradise are recreated in this 3D interactive model of the Gold Coast Light Rail proposal. This visualisation was developed in 2007, in the early stages of planning and development. The Gold Coast urban environment was fully modelled with accurate building and terrain data, with roads and proposed transport infrasturcture being displayed in high detail.
• (Video Gold Coast)
• ❏ Bowen Hills
• A 3D interactive project showing the detail of proposed roadworks and tunnel design. Accurate terrain and surroundings with traffic simulation.
• ❏ Small Lot Code
• Automated planning for large scale urban areas. Encoding local building codes into software and applying rules to large cadastral databases with an intuitive user interface. Standalone software and plugins for SketchUp.

Yam and Black Bean Salad

Preparation Time 25 minutes
Cooking Time 1 hour (for the yams)
Yield 5 complete meals, or 10 side dishes.

Ingredients

❏ 2 lbs. yams (about 3 medium), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
❏ 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
❏ 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 for the dressing
❏ 2 tsp. liquid honey
❏ 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
❏ 1 tsp. ground cumin
❏ 1 tsp. chili powder
❏ Hot sauce, to taste
❏ 1 (19 oz.) can black beans, drained, rinsed, and drained again
❏ 1/2 small red onion, finely diced
❏ 2 medium bell peppers, finely diced
❏ 1 cup frozen corn kernels OR substitute zucchini as desired
❏ 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro or sliced green onion
❏ Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
1. Cube the yams, add the corn, red onion, and anything else you want cooked and bake in a large glass pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes and then stir the yams, add olive oil if they appear dried out. Then bake for another 30 minutes.
2. In a very large bowl, prepare and add anything you do not want to be cooked. Dice the bell peppers and the green onion or cilantro, rinse, drain and add the black beans.
3. Combine the lime juice, oil, honey, garlic, cumin, chilli powder and hot sauce in a glass measuring cup and stir well.
4. Add the yams and lime dressing to salad bowl and toss to combine. Refrigerate until needed.
5. Serve warm or cool.

Recipe Options: Make squash and black bean salad by replacing the yams with an equal weight of cleaned banana squash, peeled and cubed. Chunks of cleaned banana squash are available in the produce department. For a more distinct pepper taste, instead of green bell pepper, use a fresh, mildly spiced poblano pepper in this recipe.
