Toby Godden
I've been building for the web for two decades, using the tools of the day to craft engaging, interactive experiences. I am available for commissions.
If you're here for the web tools and experiments, they're kept together in the portfolio. If you're here for long-form writing, start below.
Writing
Three entry points.
I write long-form fiction and systems-led non-fiction. Recent work focuses on AI behaviour, failure modes, evaluation design, and what actually happens when large models meet real-world constraints.
The Substack is where current analytical work lives: documenting model failures, edge cases, and misalignment between stated capability and observed behaviour. It’s the best place to understand how I think and how I test.
About
Grounded work, done properly.
I'm based in the Upper Swansea Valley. I work regular Fridays & Saturdays at Literature Laboratory in Brecon, and I keep a steady practice alongside that — writing, sound work, and building small, useful things.
If you're commissioning, booking, collaborating, or trying to understand what I actually do, the portfolio is the cleanest overview.
