Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

I contribute to the Digitalisation and Urban Dynamics transformation teams.

I am enthusiastic about emerging technology products such as drones and IoT devices, and the companies which develop them. I particularly enjoy opportunities to explore the impacts which these products will have on the world around us, how we interact with our environments, and how business practices will change as they are adopted more widely.

My current areas of focus are the use of drones in enterprise and industrial scenarios, as well as consumer. I also enjoy opportunities to discuss IoT systems and how sensor fusion and edge computing will solve problems for clients, reducing latencies, improving transparency, and providing better services for end-users.
