About

Hi there, I’m Shaun. I’m a maths-trained indie game designer and programmer who loves turning ideas into playable prototypes. I enjoy weekly prototyping, exploring game design theory, and practicing visual storytelling with pixel and vector art to bring concepts to life.

Currently I balance hands-on game design work with a role as a mathematician/programmer at BMM Testlabs, where I develop testing software for casino reel and card games, and contribute to open-source game projects. I’m learning and applying Haxe Flixel, experimenting with Spine-based animation, and I’m aiming to publish game design research while pursuing a full-time game design career.
