I have always been passionate about music, learning piano as a child and later guitar. I greatly enjoy mathematical challenges and puzzles, so happily took to music theory, but the joy of music only really hit me once I had a taste of what could be achieved through the combination of musical talent and technology.

I want to create plugins that allow for experimentation and discovery - not giving you a plugin that has the sound I ascribe to it, but instead making tools that will lead different musicians and producers down different sonic pathways.

I love working with computers, and learning different programming skills is something I find extremely satisfying. By pursuing audio plugins as a hobby I have improved my skills in C++, git, html, css, as well as learned more about the history of analogue and digital effects.

I studied theoretical physics in university, earning my masters at the University of York and my PhD at Lancaster University. Here I gained many computational skills inlcuding python and fortran languages, parallel programming, and coding collaboratively.

If you would like to take a look at my work the source code for the Waves tremolo plugin is available here, and the source for this website is here.
