I specialize in the dynamic intersection of technology, creativity, and education, bringing over 18 years of experience in learning and research consultancy, interactive technology development, and educational leadership.

My career began in academia, but I now lead innovative training products, teams, and services in the software industry, working with global leaders such as Arm, Unity, and Amazon.

As a freelance consultant and developer, I have successfully delivered projects for diverse organizations, including Volvo, Barclays Wealth, The National Library of Scotland, and Smirnoff. My expertise spans customer education leadership, designing bio-engineering systems for research, managing undergraduate programs, and advising bodies and institutions across the Higher Education and Cultural Heritage sectors.

I hold a doctorate in Brain-Computer Music Interfacing from the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research at the University of Plymouth, UK, where I explored cutting-edge neurotechnology.

In addition to my professional work, I am an active reviewer for the BCI Journal, the Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research Conference, and the Leonardo Music Journal, which recognized me as an outstanding peer reviewer in 2020. I also had the privilege of chairing the 1st International Workshop on Brain-Computer Music Interfacing and the CMMR 2015.

Quote from a participant in an interactive learning event I designed and delivered for Learning on Screen:

“This was one of the most engaging courses I’ve attended. Excellent speaker (knowledgeable), and not laboured on any points. The course was both interesting and informative.”

I am occasionally available to hire for projects, so feel free to contact me.
