👋 Hey, I'm Tristan

I'm a full-stack developer, builder, and chronic tinkerer studying Computer Science at the University of Reading.

I like building systems that mix real-time infrastructure, AI, and slightly chaotic ideas — usually late at night when a sensible person would have gone to sleep.

Founder of Oakforge Studios, where I build and experiment with apps ranging from social platforms to location-based games.

Sometimes they work.
Sometimes they shouldn't work.
Most of the time they end up shipping anyway.

🚀 What I Build

🛰️ Missile Wars Revival
A real-time geolocation strategy game built with React Native and modern backend infrastructure.

📚 Advanced Tutoring
A full-stack tutoring platform with scheduling, payments, messaging, and integrated video calls.

🍺 Pintless
A social drink-tracking app with achievements, location tracking, and pub-crawl style events.

⚡ Fun Facts

• I enjoy building things from scratch rather than using existing tools.
• My ideal projects combine engineering, chaos, and a slightly ridiculous idea.

"If it sounds slightly too ambitious for one person to build… it's probably worth trying."
