As part of the XRTK project, we're creating the best-mixed reality toolkit available, ensuring creators can focus on just their content and letting the framework handle the technical trickery to enable seamless deployment to as many platforms as possible.

I also run/support a selection of other projects related to game development, from Supporting Monogame and XNA content to Microsoft run open-source projects.
(Such as the awesome Fizzyo project, building games for kids with Cystic Fibrosis - https://github.com/Fizzyo)

I also host all the presentation and demo content I produce for east reference from all my speaking engagements.

Got a question, just ask and I'll be happy to answer or point you in the direction of someone who can.

🧙‍♂️ Now that's what I call magic

Not sure what I did to convey this level of support, but it's greatly appreciated.

Let's "Work out the details" :D

P.S. Did you know I'm also heavily into 3D printing? Need something printed or just want advice, ask!

🦹‍♀️ Part of the Family

Effectively, this is a contractor salary enabling me to work cooperatively on both public and private projects directly.

This means I quit my day job and become a full-time contractor, working primarily (but not limited to) a donor's projects.

I still reserve the right to prioritise work to ensure maximum compatibility but will ensure any and all deadlines are met within acceptable parameters.
