Selected work
Projects that move
A curated set of builds where interaction, performance, and visual identity mattered equally.
Lead architect
Sport Learning Platform
Architected a CMS-driven learning platform for international sporting organisations — courses, assessments, certifications, and qualifications, with analytics, social learning, gamification, and companion offline access. Designed the AWS infrastructure and database structure to support structured content, reporting, and long-term platform scale.

Senior developer
Forza Franchise Hub
Implemented the headless CMS and API layer for Turn 10 and Playground Games' combined Motorsport and Horizon hub — flexible content models, permission tiers, and integrations with player and community data across a large, multi-audience site. Accessibility and content structure were treated as core constraints, not late-stage fixes.
Content architecture that had to work for everyone

- API integration
- Accessibility
- Multi-audience platform
Creative developer
Invoke Studios
Built a customisable, CMS-driven brand site for the Montreal AAA studio — expressive frontend work supporting studio identity, recruitment, and editorial content without locking the team into rigid templates. The implementation prioritised craft and flexibility so marketing could evolve the site with confidence.

About
Engineering with atmosphere
I'm Gwyn — a creative web engineer with lead experience, usually helping small teams grow without turning everything into process theatre. I started in creative frontend work and still love a well-built interface; lately I'm as likely to be shaping infrastructure, APIs, and content systems as I am refining motion and typography.
That shift wasn't a rejection of the frontend — more a dive deeper. Platforms need architecture that holds up, frontends need room to breathe, and teams need someone who can move between both without losing the thread.
I tend to work below the surface — the infrastructure, the data models, the unglamorous parts that decide whether something still works six months after launch. The squid thing is only half a joke. Give me a good team and a hard problem, and I'm happy to stay down there.
