Why I do what I do.

I’m interested in how technology shapes systems, and how these systems, in turn, shape the world around us.

Working across research, design and development as a consultant, I've come to learn that the best decisions are always made early, when problems are still ambiguous, and options are open. The purpose of my work is to help make those decisions more deliberate; grounded, and informed by context and mindful impact.

I'm specifically drawn to work that sits at the intersection of problems, and solutions, where ideas are applied in practice, and need to survive real constraints, rather than living in theory.

How I go about things

I work by moving between research, design, and development as opposed to treating them as separate stages.

In practice, that usually involves:

• framing problems clearly before proposing solutions
• using analysis, prototypes, or proofs of concept to explore options early
• designing systems with technical, organisational, and human constraints in mind
• staying close to delivery to ensure intent and implementation remain aligned

My aim is to keep engagements lightweight, collaborative, and focused on learning as much as possible, and as early as possible.

About my Experience

I’ve worked across financial services, transport, gambling, and consulting, taking roles spanning both research, and development.

My early work included consulting roles, in testing and analysis, across sectors such as telco, e-commerce, and student finance, followed by operational and compliance-focused roles in regulated financial environments. This grounded shaping how I think about risk, controls and decision-making in large organisations.

I later moved into delivery and change roles, within transport and financial services, working on initiatives such as platform migrations, data and analytics programs, mobile applications, payments, and financial crime systems. More recently, I've worked on applied AI initiatives including exploratory work around agentic systems.

Across these roles, I've constantly worked at the intersection of technology, data, regulation, real-world delivery, and people. Where problems are complex, evolving and not neatly defined.
