Hi, I’m Ryan.

I’m a Scottish Unity Developer with 8 years of experience and a passion for games, engineering and education.

Areas of Expertise

Unity
C#
Mobile Development
VR Development
Educational/Serious Games
Game Design and Development

I love to build things and I love to build things that help people.

Creativity and exploration has always been at the core of who I am. Growing up playing music and painting I didn't realize my ultimate creative passion was yet to be discovered. In 2014 I tried Unity and C# programming at a game jam for the first time. Everything changed; I realized code wasn't some terrifying and impenetrable kind of math but instead a blank page and a beautiful language of expression and creativity.

Since that day more than 10 years ago I have gained 8 years of professional experience in Unity development and C#. Predominantly following my passion for using technology and creativity for good and education. Creating engaging games to detect and report developmental issues in children, sending people to the moon or depths of the Titanic wreck on educational experiences and training surgeons in virtual reality.

I have worked in numerous startups and I have a depth of experience working, communicating and growing in those environments. Outside of being a resourceful and experienced developer used to working in agile environments with cross functional teams I pride myself on my communication. I like to believe that the attention and care I take in communicating and working with my colleagues can be demonstrated by my recommendations.

Hobbies and Interests

Boxing and Fitness

I love to challenge myself and boxing represents the pinnacle of that. In particular sparring is a great test of your fitness and technique. Like many of my interests boxing is simple on the surface but the technical depths of the sport fascinate me.

I also love running, hiking and weight lifting and exercise in some form almost everyday.

Art and Photography

I paint watercolors, sketch and paint miniatures for my favorite tabletop game Kill Team (some examples here).

I also love to shoot film photography, in particular candid and street photography. (See more here).

Music

Growing up playing guitar and piano in a musical family music is a huge part of my life. I enjoy playing, producing and jamming with friends.

I even toured the UK and Ireland at 18 playing in a metal band.
