All recent work is protected under NDA - please contact me for further information.
I specialise in turning around struggling development initiatives — cutting through the noise, refocusing teams, and getting projects back on track.
As a semi-retired professional, I take on short-term contracts where I can unite your development team, sharpen objectives, and drive your product to launch. Once the foundation is strong and the momentum is building, I hand over to your core team to continue the growth journey with confidence and clarity.
If your project is stuck, your roadmap has drifted, or your team needs direction — why not reach out? Let’s get your initiative moving forward again.
I consulted on and developed Internet based solutions. Clients included Macromedia, BBC, Disney Famestudios (Tomas Ledin, ABBA, Roxette) and Oven digital.
I wrote editorial for MacWorld, Digit Magazine, Computer Arts Magazine, Web Professional Magazine, Internet Magazine and Animation World Magazine.
I lectured at HyperIsland, London School of Economics and presented at various conferences including Apple events and Macromedia Expo.
MacUser was a flagship magazine of Dennis Publishing until it ceased publication in 2015. As Technical Editor, I commissioned, wrote and reviewed editorial across the magazine. I was editor for some 40+ editions of the Magazine. Throughout this time I met with many Apple evangelists along with leaders in the technology field.
At Shell I worked on a large scale project to digitise the company telecoms network. VoIP was used to route to three telephony centres where teams of tele-operators routed calls. The project vastly improved call handling and saved Shell over £5 million GBP per annum. The tele-operators used Apple Mac's which may explain my progression to MacUser Magazine.
I’m 59 and based in beautiful Devon, UK. I love getting outdoors – whether that’s cycling through the forest, hiking across Dartmoor, or paddleboarding along the coast, usually with my family. I’m passionate about technology and how it connects us, but I never lose sight of the human side — I believe we achieve our best when we work together.
