David Ellams BSc(Hons)

Lead Game Designer
Executive Visionary
David has been programming since the age of 8, when he got his first computer, the good old ZX Spectrum, ever since then he has been hooked to coding, especially games. As well as creating games, he has enjoyed playing them his whole life. He has vast experience in all things technical including coding websites, desktop software, back-end services, apps, game and much more as seen on his CV. He has a 1st class honors degree in Computing And Informatics and came top of his class. He has always had a passion for computing but later in life he realised the world really was not in a good way and wanted to use his skills to make a real difference so he created NextGen Software Ltd to create revolutionary cutting edge apps & games to help make the world a better place. Our World is his masterpiece and has been in the design stage for over 6 years but now the time is finally here to make his dream a reality...
He also created Yoga4Autism to help people with autism unleash their FULL potential so they can live happy fulfilling lives without any limitations as he now enjoys. He shares his story via public speaking at Autism shows, schools, care homes, etc
Please see the Power of Autism section above for more info on David.
Martin was born in Munich, but after 10 years he left Germany and lived another 8 years in Malta. He got interested in the digital world at a young age and started to learn programming at the age of 14. He experimented with many different programming languages including python, java, ruby, lua, javascript, haxe, dart and used various 2d game frameworks such as openfl, love2d, pixijs and haxeflixel. After finishing his International Baccalaureate he spent some time traveling. In 2016 he met a group of people from a project called yunity. One of the main projects at yunity is to create a multi-sharing and saving platform. Since his encounter with people with yunity he has traveled with them and stayed in many different communities and explored possibilities for a permanent space to create communities. During this time he has continued to advance his skills in the digital world as well as the physical world.
