I'm Edward 👋, it's good to see you here.

Software Engineer & Technical Director | Building bridges between creative and technical worlds

Previously worked as a Pipeline TD in VFX/film building tools, pipelines, and APIs to give artists fewer headaches while building better assets.

About Me

From designing jewelry to building Python APIs and React interfaces... I didn't take the short path to becoming a software engineer. My background spans creative disciplines and technical implementation, giving me a unique perspective on problem-solving.

Current Focus

  • 🔨 Building OmniUI - A flexible widget system bridging desktop and web interfaces
  • 🎨 Developing elegant software architecture with an emphasis on developer experience
  • 🌐 Redesigning my portfolio website using React, TypeScript, Next.js, Three.js, and Tailwind CSS
  • 👨‍🏫 Sharing knowledge about scripting and art with Houdini

What I Bring to the Table

  • 🔄 Bridging technical and creative domains
  • 🧩 Creating intuitive APIs and developer tools
  • 🔍 Finding connections others miss
  • 🛠️ Building systems that make complex workflows feel intuitive
  • 💡 Applying cross-disciplinary thinking to technical challenges

Fun Facts

  • I've been known to design 3D printers for fun (Learning a bit about mechanical engineering in the process).
  • My technical journey started at an art school, not a CS program
  • Playing Vintage Story with my partner is one of my favorite pastimes.
