The Techno Tunnel

Our entry for Music Hackday 2012, hosted by Facebook. This mixed media interactive installation transports you (and your favourite music) to an underground rave in 90s Rottterdam for a very special, personalised experience. We built this IoT ghetto theme park ride with very little sleep and perhaps one too many Red Bulls. NME and Wired magazines both seemed to like it. Only one audience member has since reported brutal and disturbing flashbacks of the event.

Oil & Gas Awards

The Oil & Gas Awards is an organisation that recognizes and awards companies within the oil and gas sector. The site is fully content managed using a highly customised Wordpress installation I built with Hugh Rawlinson. A thorough understanding of the business's commercial challenges helped us streamline many aspects of the organisation.

Top Stocks

Top stocks is a stock filter that helps investors identify the hottest securites in UK equities based on the concensus and conviction of 5 of the best wealth managers. I interviewed multiple investors and IFAs, collaborated with analysts and conducted a series of usability tests during code iterations to create this application.

GigJunkie

Gigjunkie was a social network for live music fans. We aggregated concert listings all over the world from dozens of ticketing providers. The commercial experience I gained at this startup had a huge influence on me as a proponent of Lean UX Design.
