I've built a broad foundation in software engineering over 15 years of working with a diverse range of teams, projects, and tech stacks. I've experienced the product development cycle many times over transforming data in a regulated environment, contributing to high-grossing mobile games, making physical installs in museums and visitors centers and investing in young minds on their journey through the industry.
Now I'm looking for a new challenge.
Driving Strategic and Technical decisions, Establishing solution paths at the team level, Driving for alignment across the org.
Design Patterns, Memory Management, Optimisation, OOP, Functional programming
Data Engineering, Orchestration, Containerization, Cloud Services.
GLSL / HLSR Shaders, Graphics Pipeline, Vector math, FE development REACT / TS / ES6 etc.
Hobby projects in: 6502 ASM for Nes, Audio programming in C++ with JUCE and C for the Nintendo DS
Whether he is debugging performance bottle necks, prototyping / developing features from scratch or planning a multi-developer code base architecture, I can rely on Gareth to get it done on time and to spec. As the lead developer on Operation Apex, Gareth was a reliable, ultra-professional Unity generalist. I particularly enjoy working with Gareth, because very complex issues are presented to me with solutions and are communicated with clarity and ready for decision making. Gareth also contributes well outside of his role, particularly as a mentor to junior developers, a real team player

Gareth and I worked together on the production of The Hobbit: Official Companion app. As one of the lead developers for the project - Gareth brought some amazing Unity knowledge and skills to the project - and was key to the success of the project. He worked tirelessly to create a really stable product under some extremely tight deadlines. Not just knowledgable and talented, but a great team member too - even under pressure I never saw the smile leave his face! I'm looking forward to working with Gareth again in the new year and I've hired him again already! Thoroughly recommended.
