About

I’m Dan Brown, a software and game developer based in Southport (UK) with 10+ years of experience building web applications, freelancing, and creating bespoke software. I enjoy turning ideas into working prototypes and polished products, whether that’s via gameplay systems or client-focused web development.

Right now I’m focused on game development using GameMaker Studio 2 and GML, combining gameplay programming, game design, prototyping, and pixel art made in Aseprite. I also bring strong full-project web experience—HTML/CSS/JavaScript, PHP/MySQL, WordPress, and API integration—so I’m comfortable owning features end-to-end and solving problems across both game and software projects.
