• Filmmaker
• Web Developer / Programmer
• Qualified Engineer (MSc Computer, BSc Mechanical)
  

I am a qualified programmer, designer/filmmaker and engineer, toolmaker. I'd like to consider myself as a person who sees things from multiple perspectives. I enjoy discovering how things work and comparing them to how they should work and attempting to make them better, even (and often) rebuilding the improved version from the ground-up. My work passion is to come up with practical solutions that don't break the bank and achieve great results against all the odds. I like to raise expectations and live up to them. It's my way of having joy and job satisfaction.

I have been extensively and professionally trained in several fields, but I best learn things on my own and I never stop learning, and when I’m at it I should properly understand the subject. Listing a few, I’m trained as VIZGURU for the BBC by VizRT (Real-Time online 3D Graphics for broadcast and live events) at Ealing Studio in London over several years. I’m also trained as a Maxon Cinema4D (3D animation and world’s No.1 3D motion graphics software) by Maxon for the BBC, and trained by Adobe, for Creative Suite (now Creative Cloud), particularly to a Mastery Level of Advanced After Effects.

I code fluently in PHP, C and C++, Java and JavaScript (and jQuery and Vue.js for interactive and reactive user interfaces. please see ‘web development skills’ below), I’m well experienced in creating RESTful apps and the development of PWAs (Progressive Web Application). Also fluent in Visual Basic, HTML and SCSS (Saas) and Vanilla JS and pure CSS. I have many years of knowledge in website front and back end technologies and I'm a quick coder, and I understand the importance of Version Control and use systems such as Git.
