I just love doing what I do - Most days I make a living simply doing my hobby.
I have authored highly successful and innovative software, designed and maintained large networked systems, taken a leading role in system development, project-managed the distribution of new technologies, and contributed to the education sector.
RECENT ROLES
Most recently has been the development of an education platform, whose development I have spearheaded.
Developed a number of projects primarily for web and mobile platforms. This has involved both front and back-end development using various technologies including NodeJs, Redis, NoSQL, SQL, PHP, AWS, Heroku, and other cloud services.
I have also single-handedly authored a number of mobile applications that have been installed on over 500,000 Android and iOS devices.
ROLES PRIOR TO 2010:
Technical Director : UK arm of a Milan based innovative company responsible for the development and manufacture of intelligent digital video systems that utilize (AI) intelligent algorithms able to alert to crime, and possible terrorist activity as well as military applications.
I.T. Development Manager: Guided the UK further education I.T. services through major changes. Intelligent monitoring AI's were researched and developed, led by myself, for the policing of academic interconnected networks.
Technology Engineer: Development of new equipment for the Royal Navy fleet. The political situation in Iraq at this time resulted in a varied role that involved diverse tasks and schedules.
ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE
I have been programming since a young age and I have developed and managed the development of many software titles across various platforms.
I have been part of European AIMA and TASNET technology research teams, working on machine learning/A.I. use for providing cognitive assistance as part of wearable healthcare devices that monitor and assist aging populations.
Due to having grown up during a time when I.T. has vastly expanded its role in the modern world, I have seen (and been surprised at times) the ways in which it has changed and the ways it has not. Attention to this in itself gives more accurate expectations of what can be realistically achieved.
