I've built software professionally in Ruby, Python, Java, C# and JavaScript. I like to design and write clean, readable, extensible code to solve complex business problems.
In my own time, I enjoy building games and simulations. I am fascinated by Conway's Game of Life. Most of my personal work is available on my GitHub profile. Below is a selection of personal projects I have enjoyed working on.
