HI! I'M JAY
AND I MAKE STUFF



A little about me
Every project I've every undertaken has been because there's nothing like it in the real world, or what exists already is horribly flawed in someway or another.

I'm no armchair critic, if something is flawed then why not make something that does what you want anyway? That's how I became a developer in the first place. The very fact that I was unhappy with what I had, and this started early at the age of about 9 which my parents barring me from buying too many computer games. The solution? Make your own.

That vision to see something better soon became an addiction, a productive one nonetheless and once tamed helped me in my university studies, assignments, at work, at home and in my personal projects.


What is UX?
Alongside the logical and mathematical approach to things, my mum (being a massive arts and crafts fan) brainwashed me into creativity. Which is where all this user experience talk and concept designs come from. 

User experience is amazing. You need logic and reason working with creativity and abstracts in unison, something I've harnessed in many university presentations and most things user interface or demonstration related. People take for granted the importance of the communication and presentation aspect of an interface, which I think is the most important thing.


What is R&D?
It's very rare to see companies that have this kind of division. Investing in Research and Development is a luxury however is where the fun really is. You have to shatter your assumptions, rethinking everything and employ some good creative thinking to focus in on innovation. It's quite simply: inventing things. Which is what my future as an engineer means for me.


About the site
I started this website in 2009 after my manager and mentor in my first software job taught me the importance of sharing ones projects online. This website is thus dedicated to showcasing what I get up to, thoughts on related topics and hopefully some downloads for you guys to try out yourself!
