HI, I'M PAUL. I make computers do interesting things.

Over the last decade I’ve worked with organizations ranging from early-stage startups like SafariDesk, ButlerPad or CleverCare to medium-sized businesses like Blueprint Data, Tangent, or Westpac Bank all the way up to giants like Google, NASA, InfoSys and the Chinese aerospace industry leader COMAC.


As a software developer I’ve built everything from high-performance big-data systems to complex web applications to 3D rendering engines, working alone or as part of a team. And if you play independent games on Android, you’re likely using code I’ve worked on.

I'm originally from New Zealand, but nowdays I'm based in London.

Got an interesting project? Get in touch!

I assisted STL in building a scalable filtering HTTP/HTTPS VPN system for Screentime Labs that forms a the foundation of their child-monitoring safety infrastructure service. Used Strongswan (IPSEC/IKEv2) on Google Cloud Plaform to scale dynamically.

"Paul built a key part of our filtering VPN infrastructure, which has been running smoothly for over a year, and scaling to nearly 100,000 users. Thanks!

- Mark Pope, CTO"

NASA / JSC

NASA uses the ClusterGL distributed/parallel rendering system I built at Johnson Space Center in Houston. ClusterGL transparently intercepts an applications OpenGL API calls and transmits the resulting command stream across a network to multiple display outputs.

Development was funded by Google in 2011 and 2012.

Android / libSDL

The Simple DirectMedia Library is a cross-platform game programming library. In 2010 I ported it to Android as part of Googles Summer of Code program. It is now used by many commercial, open-source and independent games for their Android ports, including Jagged Alliance 2 and several Humble Indie Bundles.
