Building digital experiences that feel futuristic.

I'm loxy — a developer and designer building websites, games, and applications. I care about the details most people only feel: how fast it loads, how it responds, how right it feels in the hand.

About

I care about the thousand small decisions nobody notices.

I design and build websites, games, and applications — interfaces that feel fast, considered, and a little ahead of their time.

Developer & Designer

Location: Manchester, UK
Availability: Open to new work
Now: Currently building a real-time design canvas

I'm a developer and designer working across the whole surface of a product — from the type scale and the easing curve on a dropdown, right down to the query that makes the page load in under a second.

I started out scripting Roblox games, which turned out to be an unreasonably good education: you ship to real players on day one, and they tell you immediately when something feels wrong. That instinct for feel is what I've carried into every interface I've built since.

These days I spend most of my time in TypeScript and React, building products for small teams who care about craft. When I'm not doing that I'm usually pulling apart someone else's animation work frame by frame to figure out how they did it.

Nebula

Nebula is an infinite canvas where a whole team can sketch at once. The hard part wasn't the rendering — it was making 40 simultaneous editors feel like one shared room. Built on CRDTs over WebRTC with a Postgres snapshot layer, it holds sub-60ms cursor latency across continents and survives going fully offline mid-session.

Median cursor latency: 58ms
Concurrent editors: 40
Uptime, 12 months: 99.98%

Contact

Let's build something worth looking at.

I take on a small number of projects at a time. If you've got something in mind — a product, a site, a game, or just a problem you can't quite phrase yet — I'd like to hear about it.
