I'm Owain — a game developer with commercial experience shipping mobile and licensed-IP titles, a habit of writing my own rendering engines, and a long-standing fascination with artificial life and AI. From production football games to raycasters and evolving creatures, here's what I've made.

About
Developer, tinkerer, and student of artificial life
I'm a University of Reading graduate with a keen interest in game development and artificial life / artificial intelligence — my studies focused on machine learning, AI, evolutionary computing and neural networks.
I've worked around three years in the games industry as a junior and then mid-level Unity, HTML5 and C# developer, shipping commercial mobile titles and games built on licensed IP for well-known brands.
Outside of production work I love building things from the ground up — pseudo-3D raycasters, custom 3D engines on top of PIXI.js, and artificial-life simulators where creatures evolve their own morphology and behaviour. I'm an avid gamer and a wide reader, from the Brontë sisters to Huxley, Wells and Ballard.
