  • I publish and maintain the Unity UI Extensions project, packaging up the best the community has to offer for Unity UI components, utilities and "stuff".

  • I blog "fairly" regularly on my Personal blog about all things game development related or just cool tech.

  • Amongst the various public projects I have worked on (sooo many) the one I was most proud of is the Fizzyo project, making games and a game framework to gamify the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis for kids, so much fun.
