DEVELOPER. MAKER. ENDLESSLY CURIOUS.
I build games, create useful software, and follow interesting ideas wherever they lead. This is where I share the work—and the things I learn along the way.
01 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PROJECTS
By day, I’m a Data Migration Team Leader—helping data move home without losing its belongings, forgetting its relationships, or arriving in the wrong column.
Away from work, I build games under conceptAlpha and create apps like QueVault and Media Browser. Apparently, spending all day organising data wasn’t enough, so I built a vault for it too. When I finally step away from a screen, you’ll usually find me building LEGO Star Wars, planning a holiday, or answering to my dog—the only team leader who outranks me.
02 / SELECTED WORK
PERSONAL VAULT
Keep licences, logins, documents, and life’s important details together. Shape your records with custom templates, stay on top of important dates, and choose local or iCloud storage with optional vault encryption.
IN DEVELOPMENT
Your photos, videos, music, and PDFs in one place. Browse local folders, Apple Photos, and SMB, WebDAV, or SFTP storage. Stream remote video, pick up where you left off, and organise files without leaving the browser.
Paradroid 202x. A classic re-examined through a native Swift project.
INDEPENDENT GAMES03 / THE CONCEPTALPHA COLLECTION
Explore the games, see them in action,
and find your next one-more-go.
Arcade shooter
Fly the Manta across enemy dreadnoughts, dodge incoming fighters and dismantle the fleet. Uridium X revisits the Commodore 64 shooter with high-definition visuals and fast, precise flying.
One-button platformer
Guide Dexter the owl through 20 levels at Owl Academy. Time your jumps, hold to jump higher and use solid obstacles to turn around. Chase the best times, uncover secrets and collect everything to earn all three stars.
Space survival shooter
Take your ship into an asteroid belt and keep moving. Break apart asteroids, fight off UFOs and see how long you can survive. A classic arcade challenge with keyboard, mouse and controller support.
Chain-reaction puzzler
Grow each sweet through four sizes until it pops. The splash makes neighbouring sweets expand, setting off chains across the board. Plan your next pop to clear the board and build bigger score multipliers.
Gravity puzzle / shooter
Pilot the Icarus into caves to recover lost terraformers, then escape before the mothership departs. Gravity pulls constantly while fuel runs down, so every shot is a balancing act between aim, thrust and staying off the floor.
Arcade strategy
A twist on Snake played across a planetary power network. Consume dischargers to stay alive and use the deflectors left by your movement to change direction. Three modes change the pressure, from Normal and Zen to the aptly named Nasty.
Maze arcade remake
Guide a ball through obstacle-filled mazes in this remake of the 1989 Rainbow Arts game. Collect money, buy items and find the exit. Go for the quickest route or explore for a higher score—each level offers a different challenge.
Colour-grid puzzler
The tetromino tower keeps growing, but you cannot move or rotate the falling shapes. Instead, control the colour grid to zap them. A familiar block-stacking idea turned into a different kind of puzzle.
04 / THE JOURNAL
What I’m making, what I’m learning, and what caught my attention.
Hidden discoveries, HD droids and earned tiles, new transfer announcements, custom keyboard controls and livelier menus: Paradroid development notes from 11–12 September.
Read note : Paradroid: secrets, settings and one very ambitious transferThe 3 September checkpoint shifted attention towards daily use. The sidebar gained a clearer Vaults group, with the current vault highlighted and other vaults available…
Read note : Making everyday vault work more forgivingThe late-August checkpoint gathered a substantial expansion of import support. QueVault could recognise more password-manager and browser exports, including native 1Password .1pux data and formats…

LEGO Star Wars builds, holidays, and life with my dog. The things I enjoy when I step away from making apps and games.
