About me

Tom is a university graduate, with a First-class BSc Honours degree in Digital Art and Technology from the University of Plymouth. This website is designed to be a portfolio of his work at university and other projects.

As part of his degree, Tom completed a placement year at Oxford Brookes University, where he designed websites for the University's Business School. He learnt a great deal during the year in industry, not just about the web, but how the company operates and also gained a lot of experience on presenting his work, acting as a consultant and dealing with people.

• When he's not working on a new project, Tom likes to walk, play squash, badminton and table tennis, though not all at the same time.
• Tom can often be found dreaming up video game ideas or playing games for inspiration. He also takes an interest in films, particularly those directed by Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, Danny Boyle and M Night Shyamalan.
• He is also keen on the music accompanying films and likes to compose film and game music, sometimes to score his own work. Tom enjoys playing the trumpet in a brass group and orchestra, and the keyboard at home.
• He likes new technologies, good food, dogs, Nintendo, Pink Floyd and 'Lost'.
• His favourite website is Wikipedia and his favourite program is Google Earth.
• Tom's studied at the University of Plymouth and focused on programming, web development, games development and sound practice. For his dissertation he wrote about how computers can write their own music, and for his final year project he tried to show this.
