The Rogue + Wolf fashion company hired me to pick up the development of an app they had been creating. I had to completely re-build the app from the ground up as when I was hired, the app was very broken, and not capable of doing what it was they wanted it to do.

I was the only developer for the app, and had to overcome a lot of technical difficulties as the engine the game was being made in (Game maker studio 2) was not capable of doing some of the things they wanted adding e.g. sharing screenshots, adding items from the “doll” in to the online websites cart, and push notifications which was later dropped from the app.

If you want to find out more about the app, just download and try it for yourself from here. (please note, the app is not available on IOS)
Update: it appears the app is no longer available on the play store.

 

 

Renders made for Accu

 
 
 
 

Unfortunately, Accu have not allowed me to showcase any of the work I have done for the company on my personal website/portfolio. They have only allowed me to present a link to their website, accu.co.uk.

At Accu, I took a leading role in 3D modelling and photo-real rendering of precision engineering components creating thousands of renders during my time working there. I was primarily involved with the creation of 3D models using Fusion 360, and the creation of photorealistic renders using Keyshot 8.2. I also worked on creating animated component showcase videos and interactive 3D renders using Keyshot XR/Web.

 

 

Personal Projects

These are just some of my favourites. All of these projects were done in C#.

Encryption + Decryption Software

This software is specifically designed to encrypt and decrypt files and plain text. while there was already software out there that could do this for you, I decided to create my own as I liked the challenge and I know that because I made it, it was safe and secure and I could add whatever features I wanted that other software may not have supported.

This was originally 2 different programs that I joined in to one. this allowed the distribution of the software to anyone else that was looking for something similar, however I never distributed the software as I liked the idea of just keeping it for my self.

I use this software regularly for storing passwords and securing files and folders I didn't want anyone else using or seeing. You can download the software for testing and evaluation here

 

 

Useful Desktop

 
 
 
 

This is an ongoing project to create a useful desktop influenced by
“Rain meter” and “Wallpaper engine” witch will combine certain aspects of both, to create a more useful and personal, desktop.

This application uses multithreading to allow 2 forms to work simultaneously and implements thread locks, to allow cross thread communication. this will grant me the ability to create a ‘control board’ for the background.

The form behind the desktop icons will have a low-level mouse and keyboard hook to allow greater interaction for different use cases.

 

 

DTTQES (Data Transmission Though Quantum Entanglement Simulation)

 
 

What you are seeing in the video above, is a working simulation of a possible way of sending information from a sender to a receiver by converting text in to binary and then sending each bit using random numbers to simulate the random states of quantum entangled particles, based on a theory of mine so I wont be disclosing how it works, as I don’t want my theory to be stolen.

That said, a team of researchers demonstrated working DTTQE in 2019, based on a theory that is very similar to my own. If you wish to learn more about the researchers finding’s you can read about it in “Nature Magazine” or alternatively, you can click here and it will take you to the article.

 

 

There’s just…One more thing…

There is another project I have been working on called “Maverick” which is my AI personal assistant. If you wish to know more, just head over to The Maverick Project.
