Projects

Founder, researcher, builder — a bit of range.

A few things I've built that show creativity and technical depth. For now these are the headlines; fuller case studies will follow.

Product · SaaS · Tools

KitTracker

A web app for event kit managers to check equipment in and out at festivals, tours, and live productions — with a full audit trail and real-time availability across a whole event.

Why it mattersProof I can ship a real product: designed, built, and launched solo — from schema to Paddle billing to a standalone offline Electron build for venues without reliable internet. Multi-tenant orgs, auth, CSV import, real-time availability, and a first-run desktop installer — all from one person.

Founder · Product · Games

Unruly Attractions / Standpoint

The indie studio I founded, and Standpoint — a first-person puzzle game shipped across PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox One.

Why it mattersThe clearest proof of end-to-end building: I founded the studio, wrote the core technology as sole programmer, and led an international team of artists, designers and musicians from prototype to shipped product on console and PC.

Research · AI

PhD — Adversarial Behaviour Debugging

Ongoing research into finding, explaining and debugging failure modes in learned agent behaviour.

Why it mattersWhere the technical depth lives: original methods for probing where machine-learning systems break and why — the kind of rigour that informs how I reason about AI in production.

Play · Live experiments

Jump, Die, Repeat

A living playground for AI and game-systems experiments, built and iterated in the open.

Why it mattersCuriosity made visible — fast, public iteration on game and AI ideas, and a place to try things that are too playful for a roadmap but too interesting to ignore.

Other things I'm building

The bench.

Not case studies — just the side projects that keep things interesting.

Small-batch jerk seasoning

A genuinely good jerk blend, iterated like a product. Recipes, ratios, and a slowly improving label.

Streaming on Twitch

Building in the open now and then — game experiments and the occasional rabbit hole, under @vethan.
