Tom Cartwright
Software engineer, game developer and musician focusing excitement for technology and sound into creating joyful experiences through games and audio toys.
Tom is a software engineer, game developer and musician.
He has a background in audio technology, spatial programming and user interaction from a BSc in Music and Sound Recording from the University of Surrey and experience with Focusrite, Ultraleap and 5of12.
Tom uses this experience to build playful audio apps and games centred around the player's own knowledge and skill, and how that leads to a more immersive and engaging experience.

Outside of tech, he loves the outdoors and all things fantasy. You’ll find him running, climbing mountains, surfing or working his way through a Brandon Sanderson tome.
