I'm a physicist, a programmer and a self-confessed computer nerd.

Ever since my Dad introduced me to a soldering iron and a pcb schematic I've been obsessed with computers and discovering how they work.

I started my programming career at a young age when I wrote my first game in basic on a Commodore 64. Since then my career has evolved to projects ranging from computational physics through to web and application development.

I believe in standards and open source and I take pride in producing simple and elegant solutions to coding problems.

My opensource work revolves mainly around developing cross platform extensions/plugins for multiple frameworks including Unity, AIR, Haxe and Flutter. These help developers using those frameworks to access native functionality without getting involved in native code.

I also develop tools and documentation for AIR including:

Your sponsorship will help me continue my efforts in supporting the AIR community and further develop a series of publicly available extensions and plugins.

@marchbold

Will allow me to dedicate a significant amount of time into developing APM. The AIR Package Manager (APM) is designed to simplify integration of AIR native extensions by managing dependencies and application descriptor configuration (including Android manifest additions and iOS info additions). https://github.com/airsdk/apm
