I became a Lecturer in Computer Games at Portsmouth in 2009 while finishing my PhD in pervasive game design. My main teaching responsibilities include programming with the PlayStation 5 development kits but I also do a lot of work with Masters and PhD students too. I am now the Academic Lead for the School of Creative Technologies, covering the theme «Play, Code, Create» and supporting the Course Leaders in looking after the longer-term interests of the Games courses. My research interests lie in the creative interpretation of ambiguity in games, and also how «constrained writing» techniques can be applied to Game Development.
