I’m a software engineer for Neara. I specialise in computationally heavy, or mathematically focused software. I'm currently working on finite-element calculation software.
Previously I worked at DUG where my work revolves around adding support for integrating custom code into the DUG Insight scientific platform. At DUG I've previuosly worked on DUG Wave and several other tools.
I founded Run With Robots, and lead development of our Roar engine for online social games.
I was also head of R&D for Rising Sun Research, which developed acadamy award winning software for the visual effects industry.
These days when I'm developing software for fun I use rust. Some of my recent rust projects include:
- gdocbak: A small tool running on a home Rapberry-Pi 2 that backs up a variety of google documents weekly. (Complete)
- gnarled: An experimental library for programatic art creating SVGs (with a view to pen plotting). (WIP)
- twirl: A markdown library that aims for GFM / commonmark compliance, and can properly roundtrip markdown->Ast->markdown. (Passing 1450 / 1600 test)
- markovian: A name/text generation tool using Markov chains and grammars.
- AuthorsNotebook: An application for plotting and writing novels in markdown, with export of annotated drafts to Latex (and eventually .docx) (WIP)
- An application for tracking progress and setting weekly and daily goals for novel writing.(WIP)
And probably a bunch of other things.
