About Me

My company, Chaos Created, is a web design, app and games development, audio and video production and marketing agency based in Portishead, Bristol. We developed Zombies Ate My City and Timedancer, both featured on BBC Click, and our client-based app development work includes apps and games for TES, Nokia, and Tesco.

On the production side, we create podcasts, documentary-style video content, and YouTube Live shows for a growing range of clients - including AstroAgency, the Centre for Hate Studies at the University of Leicester, and the Institute for Policy at the University of Leicester, where we produce a series of portrait-style policy brief videos. We also provide video production, data analysis, and digital marketing support for the Bristol & Beyond Stronger Practice Hub, and we produce the Shaking It Up With Parkinson's podcast in partnership with Parkinson's UK - a series exploring life, movement, and resilience hosted by Maria Lewis and Vicky Rees-Davies.

I'm also the Director of Technology at TeenTech, a UK charity, where I present workshops at TeenTech Festivals across the UK and produce virtual events - delivering live, interactive online sessions to young people featuring special guests from the worlds of science, technology, engineering, gaming, animation, and music.

Alongside this, I'm the Technical Director of Adaptive Fitness Training (AFT), a specialist education company for fitness professionals working with neurological conditions and rehabilitation - where I oversee the technology, digital infrastructure, and video production side of the business.

I also run coding workshops in UK schools through our Code Created initiative.

I'm a technology enthusiast, movie fanatic, and gamer. I enjoy travelling, taking random road trips, running, rollercoasters and theme parks, and drinking coffee. Lots of coffee.

We have had Code Created at our school for several years now working with both the Year 3 and Year 4 classes. They are knowledgeable, calm and above all fun! The workshops are often referred to as 'the best day ever!' by children. Thoroughly recommended.

A fantastic, engaging and well prepared workshop. Ali and Tom were so patient and enthusiastic with the children. It was lovely to see how engaged ALL the children were and the new skills have been used independently. Highly recommend this workshop!

A fantastic workshop! Our Year 5 and 6 loved working with Ali and Tom, who were both so knowledgeable about their subject area. The workshop involved coding a game using Microsoft Arcade Make Code - a daunting task without their expert guidance! By the end of the session, every pupil had created a playable game and were so excited to share their creations with each other. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Our Year 5 and 6 learners recently took part in a wonderful coding workshop led by Tom and Ali. Both leaders were patient, clear in their explanations, and demonstrated impressive subject knowledge. They created a supportive atmosphere where learners were encouraged to explore the software, make mistakes, and learn from them with expert guidance on hand.

A particular highlight was the opportunity for the children to design and build their own game. This hands-on challenge kept everyone fully engaged and allowed them to apply new skills creatively and confidently. Since the workshop, the children haven’t stopped talking about their games and how excited they were to see their ideas come to life. The children are so proud, we're even holding a family session so the children can share their accomplishments!

Diolch yn fawr!

Thank you again for such a fantastic workshop, the children absolutely loved it!
Some of the feedback from the pupils really sums it up:
“It was the best morning ever!”
“I feel like I’m a real coder.”
“That was the best workshop we’ve had, especially because we can do it at home!”
We really appreciate you coming in and sharing your expertise. It was brilliant to see how enthusiastic and engaged all the children were throughout the session.
Thanks again and we’d love to have you back in the future!

Ali and Tom delivered an excellent full-day coding and gaming workshop that gave students hands-on experience in developing creativity, problem-solving, and digital literacy skills through interactive gameplay and coding challenges. The day was well organised, engaging, and ran smoothly from start to finish.

We were particularly impressed by how Ali and Tom kept students interested and encouraged active participation throughout the workshop. The students remained focused, enthusiastic, and fully engaged in the activities, producing impressive outcomes. It was a highly enjoyable and valuable experience, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we would gladly invite them back to work with our students again.
