Hi, I'm Adam 👋

I like making things 💡

For work, that’s software.

For fun, that's games, music, art and sometimes real-world physical things.

On the first version of this website all those years ago, I said something like “I like creating, and solving problems”. Sometimes I would skip the comma after the word ‘creating’. That’s still true today.

I look something like this, depending on my current beard/no-beard and/or glasses/no-glasses mood:

Work things 💾

Currently, I'm Chief Product & Technology Officer at Rocksteady Music School. I’ve been lucky to spend my career working on interesting problems with wonderful people. The long list is here, on LinkedIn, but these are some of the places I’ve had the privilege of spending my time:

Rocksteady Music School

SEGA / Two Point Studios

Kyan

Mozilla Foundation

WWF

Flipside Group

I’ve spent time in engineering, design, product, management, data, operations and all the interesting spaces between those things.

Play things 🕹

When I’m not working, I design and develop games (video games and board games). In the past, I’ve published a few things under the name Alpha Delta Games.

You’ll also find me making music with my dad-band friends in Shoes on, Now! and sometimes playing bass in a Green Day tribute band or tinkering with synths making electronic music.

Learning 🧐

I like learning. I have lots to learn.

I studied Fine Art at UCA, and then did a degree in Computer Science & Creative writing with the OU while I was working.

For the last few years, I’ve been learning music production, recording, mixing and mastering.

If I’m not writing code at work, I’ll keep my hand in with projects of my own. I’m usually bouncing around between a variety of books and audio books to keep exploring new ideas.

Get in touch

I’m mostly ‘off’ social media these days, but if you’d like to talk about work things, the best way to connect is on LinkedIn.
