From an early age I’ve always been deeply interested in computing and design. It was my dad, introducing me to the computer systems at his work place that first sparked this interest. I can always remember the feeling of wanting to know just how computers worked, why they worked and what else they could do and I explored this through drawings before swiftly moving on to larger items and eventually houses, the desire for wanting to know how houses stayed upright combined the two elements.
It was at Kent University of Architecture where I learnt many meaningful lessons from precedents across interrelated strands of design, culture and technology. I then worked at Orms, which is a creative, design–led architectural practice based in Clerkenwell in central London, it was here where I applied my computer skills to develop my technical and construction knowledge, learning such programs as Microstation 3D.
Whilst working at IBM UK Ltd as an IT architect, I worked with major clients to devise, design and develop IT systems that would meet their business requirements; as a member of the executive team of a professional services company I was responsible for strategic planning of the enterprise, and held sole responsibility for the most of technology aspects. I have architected and provided leadership to the development of a unique Web site which promoted the company and linked it with services and clients worldwide. I have also led design and development teams, managed third party subcontractors, and acted as an independent consultant, however my keen eye for design forced me to join TDC.
I joined TDC in 2020 as a co founder contributing to the team as an IT Manager, looking for a new challenging position, one which makes best use of my existing skills and experience and also further my personal and professional development, a decision which I haven’t looked back on since.
When I’m not at work I play a lot of sport and spend time with my family and friends, frequent bars and restaurants across the city and love to travel. Getting a healthy work/life balance is very important – it's not always hard work.
