About Me
The short version
I've been programming since 2006 — starting with IT support and small automation scripts before working
my way through web development, data engineering, systems programming, and eventually AI runtime research.
Over the years I've written production code in Go, Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, VBA, R, PHP, and Shell.
In my spare time I build OpenFluke — a passion project I work on for fun.
It's centred around Loom , a portable AI engine that runs neural networks natively
across every major platform and language without vendor lock-in. Alongside it I'm building
Primecraft , a simulation engine, and SoulGlitch ,
an AI creature evolution game powered by both. All of it built in my own time, just because I enjoy it.
I've designed and verified cross-language, cross-vendor AI runtimes — achieving bit-level determinism
across 7+ architectures including Apple M4, AMD Ryzen, Intel Arc, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm Adreno —
using WebGPU/Vulkan compute with unified C-ABI bindings for Go, Python, C#, C, and WebAssembly.
