As a Technical Specialist at the School of Digital Arts (SODA) I am responsible for supporting researchers and academics with any support they require with coding, UX research and web related queries and innovations. Day to day, I may be coding a JavaScript application, working on some course materials, delivering workshops, or inducting students into the UX lab, which is where I spend a great deal of my time at SODA.
I am interested in art, painting, drawing, game design and development, electronic music production, book publishing, cinema, creative coding and have participated in various group and solo exhibitions in London and the North. I run a small indie software and book publisher called Alien Rabbit with which I publish my own fiction and non-fiction work, as well as the work of other writers.
I have a professional background in both coding and teaching and have worked in industry for a variety of startups and commercial businesses as well as spending several years programming and designing applications in the emerging webXR space and teaching English in Moscow.
