Hello!
I was born in the mid-seventies in Kent and lived in a town called Broadstairs on the Kent coast, just over 70 miles east of London. In 1992 I moved to Norwich to attend the University of East Anglia (UEA) and study Computer Systems Engineering. While attending UEA I spent a year living in Vancouver, Canada including studying and working at Simon Fraser University (SFU).
My final-year project was in collaboration with the Radiotherapy Physics Department of the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. This project led to further research work with UEA and the Radiotherapy Physics department, and also to work with Radionics, supporting their neurosurgical and radiation therapy products.
In 1999, I moved from Norwich to Milton Keynes and started work in London's Canary Wharf at the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the newly-formed financial services regulator. My work at the FSA was varied, ranging from deploying a content management system for a number of their web sites to designing the IT platform supporting regulatory reporting over the millennium period.
I now work at Acxiom, in its Consulting group, helping my clients drive insights from the information they have about their customers - for purposes such as marketing, business intelligence, risk management and technology optomisation.
