ORIGIN STORY
My obsession with technology started at age 10 with three lines of code on a Commodore 64. That obsession never hit a game-over screen.
Over 25 years I've leveled through the whole tech tree — programming in Assembly language and C++ in the early days, then C#/.NET, JavaScript, mobile apps, and cloud platforms. I've led development through three acquisitions — today as Director of Development at TRIBUS Group — shipping real-estate technology used across the industry, with two US patents along the way.
When I'm not writing software I'm building it in wood and steel: custom arcade cabinets, Raspberry Pi rigs, and whatever else the garage will hold. I'm a gamer at heart — it's why everything I build has to be fun to use.
⚡ NEW POWER-UP ACQUIRED: These days I'm all-in on vibe coding — building with AI as a force multiplier. Decades of low-level fundamentals plus modern AI tooling is a ridiculous combo, and I use it daily to ship faster than I ever have.
CHARACTER STATS
QUEST LOG
TRIBUS GROUP — DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
Directing development of TRIBUS's real-estate brokerage platform — architecture calls, leading the dev team, and still shipping code. Final-boss chair, same controller.
LEAD DEVELOPER → DIRECTOR
A decade-plus as lead developer on the same evolving real-estate stack, carried through three acquisitions. Turned down side-exits to finish the run, then leveled into leadership.
SOLID EARTH — SPRING PLATFORM
Core developer of Spring, an MLS data-driven consumer and professional real-estate platform. Its success powered the sale of the company. Persistence stat: maxed.
ACHIEVEMENTS UNLOCKED — 2 US PATENTS
Patented a consumer-to-agent matching system and a rules-engine for multi-entity data governance — the plumbing under real-estate tech, invented and shipped.
MOBILE SIDE QUESTS
Santa Calls Pro on iPhone, iPad, and Android; StreetFinger: California Rush, an iPad game in Objective-C with Core Graphics; and YouGamePlay, a gameplay video search engine on MongoDB.
THE HARDWARE ARC
Built full-size arcade cabinets from raw lumber to running Raspberry Pi — then wrote PiSetup.com to remotely administer them, because of course the arcade needed a control plane.
UNIVERSITY OF GREENWICH — BSc COMPUTER SCIENCE
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, London. The theory to go with a decade of self-taught practice.
BROMLEY COLLEGE — COMPUTER SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
Higher National Diploma in Computer Systems Engineering — where the code met the circuit boards.
BROMLEY COLLEGE — ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
Two years of Electronic Engineering — soldering-iron XP that still pays off in every arcade cabinet build.
COMMODORE 64 — THREE LINES OF CODE
Age 10. 10 PRINT "METE" : 20 GOTO 10 — and it never stopped printing.
CHARACTER SELECT — all fighters unlocked
Nationwide unboxing-sale marketplace on Cloudflare Workers. 70+ metro subdomains, D1, KV, Workers AI.
Yard-gear loadout builder with community Hall of Fame. Workers + D1 + AI photo screening.
Gameplay video search engine — Ajax, jQuery, MVC and MongoDB back when that was the hot loadout.
Remote administration for Raspberry Pi images — born from my own arcade cabinet builds.
Several full-size arcade machines built from raw lumber to running Pi. The only project you can body-check.
New side quests are loading onto subdomains of this very site. Insert coin and check back.
