My name is Tom Kidd and I am a software engineer.
In my spare time I have taken to the hobby of getting software to run on Apple devices, especially open source game engines. I publish the results to my GitHub account.
I started by working with id Tech engines but I've done some other projects as well.
My work has been covered by Shacknews, Touch Arcade, Ars Technica and Slashdot and referenced by John Romero.
I have also intermittently maintained a blog on this site for the last twenty years.
I can be found on twitter at @TomKidd and @Schnapple and can be reached via email at tomkidd@gmail.com.
