🦹♂️ Hello and welcome. I’m a ginger-ish technologist in my 30s. I enjoy 🏋️♂️ fitness and ✈️ travel (when I can), and I’m an adult human to one son and one 🐶 cocker spaniel.
Professionally, I’m tech lead at Simply Do Ideas, Trialflare and Seastorm. I also maintain and run a number of other independent projects.
Personally, I’m interested in small businesses, simple and open technologies, plain text(!), and data sovereignty.
🎓 I completed my PhD at Cardiff University’s School of Computer Science & Informatics in 2015.
🤓 I worked on the IBM-led UK MoD and US Army Research Labs coalition ITA project as a postdoctoral research associate.
👨🏫 I taught the Advanced Computer Science MSc module Web & Social Computing and the Computer Science BSc module Human-Computer Interaction at Cardiff University.
📝 I write about various things on my blog (📥 RSS feeds available).
🌱 I curate a collection of thoughts, links and notes.
👨💻 Some of my previous research work is available here.
