I’m Dan, an independent game developer and the creator of umunki.

After a long career as a senior .NET and Azure developer, automating the 3D modelling of roads, rail and water infrastructure, I took the plunge in October 2026 and went full-time into game dev. 

My career resume and portfolio.

I’ve been learning Unity, Blender and all manner of other cool things along the way. Now I’m putting that experience into making my own games.  I also spend part of my time managing and playing in a Belfast-based Motown, Funk & Disco band. Apparently I’m incapable of having just one project. 
 

My vision for umunki is to create 3D games that put intrigue and curiosity above violence.

umunki is pronounced "you monkey!"
