Built film-quality Tron-style interfaces to present complex business information for the client’s hundreds of business units, meeting a fixed deadline. Developed a Three.js dashboard for a 10-metre screen showing company performance with high-end motion/graphics and Minority Report-style UI. Created a real-time 3D data dashboard using Unreal Engine and Three.js, including an AI agent that summarizes complex business data in an engaging, useful way. Also modelled and sourced required 3D and 2D assets and made key architecture decisions quickly to hit the delivery timeline.

Built film-quality, Tron-style UI and dashboards that communicated complex information about hundreds of business units. Delivered a Three.js dashboard for a 10-metre screen, plus real-time 3D data dashboards in Unreal Engine and Three.js for a high-stakes client presentation.

Made key architecture decisions quickly to meet a fixed deadline.

Freelance delivery of real-time 3D, web and rendering work for agencies and start-ups, alongside development of my own app, Zippy Town. Produced a photoreal 30-second hero render sequence for the M-Sport Ford Raptor T1+ Dakar Rally site from supplied CAD data, covering the full pipeline including Unreal Engine materials, lighting and livery (awarded Awwwards Site of the Day). Developed Zippy Town 3D: built, lit and colour graded a stylised city for Android with a Three.js showcase site, and wrote a Blender export pipeline to app/web with optimisations such as DRACO compression, LOD and post-processing. Created procedural animation setups in Blender Geometry Nodes, generated terrain in Gaea, and completed grading/compositing/encoding in DaVinci Resolve. Built Blender tooling in Python (asset import/export and converting real NASA data into 3D terrain with custom lunar regolith material), and worked across glTF/FBX with correct colour spaces and tonemapping for Three.js and Unreal.
