I build, organise and untangle digital things.
I'm Kurtis, a digital project manager in London with a background in front-end development. I work on websites with other people, then spend a fair amount of my spare time making games and tools of my own.
Hello, and welcome
This is where I keep the things I’m working on, along with a bit about how I got here. My day-to-day work is in digital project management, but I started out building websites and haven’t really lost the urge to make things myself.
That probably explains why a couple of browser games turned into KJ’s Games, and why wanting simpler analytics somehow led to an analytics project. You’ll find both here, alongside the work I’ve done with other teams. There is a sensible thread through it all, although it occasionally takes the scenic route.

Here for my professional experience? Work is the best place to start. About is a little less CV-shaped.

About meSelected work
These two projects give a good sense of the work I enjoy: understanding what people need, working through the awkward details and helping a team build something useful.
Clearer self-service, less manual admin
Helped replace a portal people had learnt to work around, giving coaches, clients and delegates clearer ways to manage their own part of the process.

Proposed and shaped a SharePoint rebuild that gave people practical reasons to return, from planning the week to sharing knowledge and company updates.

Away from work, these are the projects I keep coming back to. Some solve a problem I had; others exist because I was curious.
KJ's Counter
I wanted a straightforward way to see which pages and game features were being used, without tracking individual visitors. Counter is the tool I ended up building.

What began with a few browser games now includes six, from Solitaire to restoring a tidal research station in Stillwater Array. I've learnt quite a lot between those two.
