Hey there!

I'm Oliver Fiddy.

(In case you didn't get that)

I'm a writer, programmer, game designer, and tautologist.

I'm currently a Software Engineer at FundApps. Previously, I studied Computing at Imperial College London, graduating with a First.

As well as mathematics, logic, and other such programmer-y areas, I love analysing and creating media, writing stories and planning shows with almost every waking second.

I Love Games

In various forms and various stages of completion, I've been making games and video games for the last 10 years, from childhood straight up to now.

I've been playing, running and writing both tabletop RPGs and Wargames for years, with many of my more recent projects being related to one or the other.

At the moment, I'm (slowly) working on a text-adventure-like fantasy game, and an online wargame inspired by Backstabbr, as well as constant Warhammer and D&D Homebrew projects.

I Also Love Programming

I'm fascinated by almost every aspect of Computer Science, but scripting, programming, and especially programming scripting are my true loves.

In addition to the flashy Predicator and the now-outdated Citadel Colour Lore Tracker, I've worked on projects ranging from operating systems to parsers, and used languages all across the paradigms - and whatever the hell JavaScript is.

For my dissertation, I created Druckeryn, a typesetting DSL hosted entirely within Scala.

I'm A Big Fan Of Applying These

Films, Video Games, TV, Musicals, Literature, just about anything artistic you can look at or take part in, all of it fascinates me.

For years, I have been thinking about all of these things, and writing and mashing them up in various ways.

I have designed far more games than anyone could possibly get around to, both digital and on the tabletop.

I also have a keen interest in history (analysing just how different our current place in time is to the rest of Human history is deeply humbling), and also any other subject that can be explained well enough to me.

It's too big a world to find things boring, after all. It's always good for D&D, at worst.

I Also Love Lots Of Things

I chaired the ICL Sea Shanty Society, which is truly a life summed up.

I paint miniatures on the side, with a Kharadron Overlords army for Age of Sigmar, and some Epic-scale projects at the moment.

My library of books read and things learnt is frankly worrying, and I have skills from singing Broadway to fencing sabre.

A wide range of interests allows me to bring a wide-ranging view to the problems I need to solve.
