You can hire me. I live in North-East England and trade as creativenucleus.
I made Kick Cards, a physical deck of cards that startups can use to explore ideas.
I created a Demoscene workshop, a mix of coding skills and history, enthusiastically delivered. Please contact me if you'd like me to run one for you.
I'm available for creative tech projects - making interesting things with code. Previous personal highlights have included:
My main languages are:
I also have decent experience in PHP, HTML/CSS, and SQL. And many more exotic / lesser used languages too.
I have a few public repositories in GitHub.
I've been a creative coder for much of my time. At the end of 2022, I became active in the demoscene, and it became a big part of my life.
You can find my contributions at my Demozoo, and Pouët profiles.
You can run some things online in the TIC-80 archive, though in the browser they may run slower than they should.
There are recordings in my YouTube playlist.
My group affiliation is RiFT, though I also enjoy collaborations outside that.
I have a strong interest in livecoding.
You'll find some (mostly TIC-80) examples in my Demozoo Livecode archive.
I'm also playing with Strudel, and enjoying that.
I enjoy community building and making tools. Some notable projects include:
I enjoy gardening and growing, cooking, kamado taming, retrogaming (sweet spot: 1985-95), live comedy, coloured lighting, and adore a one-eyed cat.
I regularly attend The Science of Consciousness, travel to occasional demoparties, love to listen or dance to electronica / breakbeat / funk / disco, and had the time of my life at Electromagnetic Field.
My main social network account is jtruk / mastodon.social.
You can find my professional profile on LinkedIn. I don't keep it up-to-date, but I will respond!
I used to be very active on Twitter, but I don't monitor engagement there since it became X.
