Failed architect turned technologist, still relentlessly trying to build the future.

From Architecture to Technology.

I studied architecture at UCL in London, at the Bartlett School of Architecture: one of the world's leading places to think about buildings, cities, systems, and people.

I loved it, but I was conflicted. Even then, it felt like technology might have the bigger impact on the world we live in, or at least change what architecture had to respond to.

Work

My professional story starts with architecture, then moves into consulting, delivery, product, and emerging technology. I have spent the last 15 years working through technology from a lot of angles: mobile application strategy, scaled agile delivery, product management, technical architecture, blockchain, field-force wearables, data science, computer vision, and into the agentic AI era we're now living through.

For most of that time I worked for the world's largest consulting services firm, across private and public sector clients, always drawn toward the edge of what technology could make possible and how it could be made useful for real people. The work has ranged from early ideas and experiments through to global enterprise and consumer-scale delivery.

Recently, I started a new chapter at a global technology services company to help drive growth in AI. That feels like the same thread continuing rather than a clean break: still trying to understand what is emerging, what is real, what is useful, and how teams can turn ambiguous technology into things people can actually use.

Alongside the corporate path, I have always kept a more entrepreneurial and pragmatic learning loop running: building small tools, researching new technology, recording conversations, and testing ideas in public when they are still unfinished. Tech Back Control grew out of that same instinct in 2023: exploring how disruptive technologies might shift more agency back toward people, public goods, and the planet.

A little more personal

Family comes first: happy husband, devoted dad, and someone who is still trying to keep life bigger than work.

Outside the professional thread, the recurring themes are pretty simple: family, basketball, food, travel, photography, home projects, and trying to stay curious without turning every interest into a productivity system.

The work and the side projects make more sense with that context around them. There is a slower version of that picture on Interests.
