About Me
I am currently a Director of Engineering within EA Ventures at Electronic Arts, where I lead engineering for the EA Sports Platform and help drive the development of innovative products beyond traditional game development. Outside of EA, I run an independent game studio, Flump Studios, where I continue to explore my passion for building games and products from the ground up.
For several years my work centred on the racing companion app Racenet, where I led the backend development team and built the visualisations for the F1 and WRC performance analysis tools. Racenet also provides server support for the games themselves, such as hosting and running the F1 leagues and WRC clubs features.
More recently my role has shifted away from hands-on engineering and towards leadership. I now lead engineering for the EA Sports platform inside our Ventures department — a portfolio focused on creating innovative products and platforms beyond traditional game development. I'm responsible for engineering strategy, architecture, platform delivery and live operations, as well as driving AI adoption across our backend and DevOps functions, partnering closely with senior leadership, product teams and stakeholders across EA Sports to deliver scalable platforms and accelerate the development of new ventures.
The bulk of my role is now people, direction, and AI enablement rather than code: hiring, mentoring, architecture, building strong cross-team relationships, and fostering the culture that keeps teams healthy and effective. I've led engineering organisations of up to 20 people and currently head a smaller, focused team. A key part of my role is helping engineers adopt AI safely and pragmatically, enabling the team to move faster, reduce routine effort, and maintain a high rate of delivery without sacrificing quality or security.
I have contributed to 10 AAA games, including F1 2020-2025, WRC, Grid Legends, and Dirt 5. Additionally, I provided post-release support for Dirt Rally 1 and 2.
As the founder and developer of Flump Studios, I have independently released 15 games, including notable titles such as Horizon Shift, Horizon Shift 81, Hyper Bounce Blast, Super Killer Hornet Resurrection and Ruyn.
I live in Leamington Spa with my wife and 2 sons, I enjoy skateboarding, retro console programming, and running.
