24, from South East England, and by my own admission a non-grass-toucher. Making music since 2017, running servers since 2022.
Since 2022 I've hosted modded Call of Duty servers, and built the tools the scene was missing along the way.
Modded Call of Duty and Minecraft servers across the EU and North America.
Vanilla-focused multiplayer and Zombies, real-time leaderboards, weekly challenges, credits and a Discord that stays busy. I run all of it: the hosts, the Java site and API, the IW4MAdmin plugins, the bots and the monitoring that tells me when something breaks.

Every modded Call of Duty server in one list.
Plutonium, IW4x, AlterWare, Aurora, HorizonMW, CoD4x and S2x each have their own browser, if they have one at all. This puts them side by side, refreshed every twenty seconds, with history behind every number and a free public API. The live numbers on this page come from it.

Race weekends get watched on timing screens, so I built my own, and then put it on the iPhone.
A timing console for Formula 1 race weekends.
Live timing, a track map with every car on it, weather, team radio and full session replay, laid out like the screens on a pit wall rather than a fan site.

Desktop, iPhone and web apps. Each one does a single job and tries to do it properly.
Put your iPhone somewhere it isn’t.
Plug an iPhone in over USB, click anywhere on a map and the phone reports that location. Walk with the arrow keys or play back a route. It uses Apple’s own developer location simulation, so there is no jailbreak and nothing to install on the phone.

I've released music as HGM since 2017, from hard bass to hip-hop and now UK rage, on my own label, HGMEntertainment.

Store totals from Amuse; everything else read from the public pages on 2 October 2026.
I built the release site at loud.hgm.gg myself: the countdown and pre-save page, a private press room that hands embargoed audio and artwork to outlets one code at a time, and an admin dashboard that flips the site to “out now” on release night.
Plugins, references and small tools. Most are public on GitHub; the rest keep the servers running behind the scenes.
HGM is George, a 24-year-old developer, game server host and music artist from the South East of England. He has made music since 2017 and has run game servers since 2022, and builds the websites, apps and tools around both.
HGMServers is a network of modded Call of Duty servers, plus a Minecraft server, running in Europe and North America since 2022. It focuses on vanilla-style multiplayer and Zombies, with real-time leaderboards, weekly challenges, credits and an active Discord. Everything is at hgmserve.rs.
gameserve.rs lists modded Call of Duty servers from Plutonium, IW4x, AlterWare, Aurora, HorizonMW, CoD4x and S2x in one place, from Call of Duty 1 through to WWII, including Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. It refreshes every twenty seconds, keeps a history behind every number and has a free public API with no key.
Russian Hard Bass is a 2018 single by HGM, released on his own label, HGMEntertainment. It has more than seven million plays on Spotify, is used in over ten thousand TikTok videos, and lives on as a meme sound effect. A Deluxe Edition with extended, slowed and sped-up versions followed in 2023.
HGM is on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer and Bandcamp, with over nine million streams across all of them. The next single, Lose Your Mind, is out on 9 October 2026.
On the App Store: GridDash, a free Formula 1 race companion with live timing and a track map, and Hardstop, an app blocker whose rules cannot be changed while a block is running. On the web: F1Dash, a live timing console for race weekends, and depth.fm, which joins your Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Last.fm and Deezer exports into one listening history, year by year. He also makes Draftpin, which sets an iPhone's location from a Mac over USB.
I’m 24, from South East England, and I spend my time somewhere between music, gaming and tech. I started hosting Call of Duty servers in 2022 and kept building whatever the servers needed until some of it turned into products. These days that also covers Formula 1 timing, iPhone apps, a Minecraft server and a homelab that keeps growing.
Linux and the terminal, PostgreSQL for nearly everything, Next.js and TypeScript on the web. Java, Go, Python, C# and Swift when the job calls for them.
Email is quickest. I’m always up for an interesting project, and for building one with someone else.
