James Kitto - Creative Technologist & XR Developer

Creative Technologist & XR Developer

I build interactive 3D experiences, simulation platforms, procedural tools, and spatial software for real-world problems.

About Me

I'm a Creative Technologist & XR Developer with over a decade of experience building interactive 3D software across XR, simulation, digital twins, training platforms, real-time visualisation, and creative technology. My work spans emergency services, healthcare, counter-terrorism, fire and rescue, finance, aviation, education, entertainment, and industrial visualisation. I've worked across multiple platforms and technical stacks, including Unity, XR, WebGL, cloud-connected 3D pipelines, networked systems, procedural generation, and real-time tools.

I specialise in turning complex ideas into purposeful, usable software, from immersive training and rehabilitation tools to digital twin platforms, interactive prototypes, and scalable 3D systems. I also bring experience in technical leadership, mentoring, and helping teams deliver ambitious work with clarity and confidence.
