Engineer • Astrophysicist • Aspiring Indie Game Developer

Christopher Aykroyd

After completing a PhD in astrophysics, I’m now focusing on game development as an outlet to creative problem-solving.

Projects

Games, jams, and technical work

Hey there!

I’m an engineer and recent PhD graduate in astrophysics with a long-standing love for games, maths, and creative problem-solving. I enjoy building systems that are both technically challenging and fun to interact with.

My background has trained me to think deeply about algorithms, simulation, and graphics programming, and I’m now bringing that mindset into game development. I’m especially drawn to indie projects where programming, experimentation, and creative design all come together.
