I’ve done my fair bit of development in the last few years, mostly linked with the production of virtual environments (VR and desktop). Having a degree in Digital Humanities, I’ve split my time between pure programming and design, reaching a good level of proficiency in both (I’ve done some web development, but that is a career I am not interested in pursuing right now). I have also taught a few courses, which you can find in the dedicated section.
