About

I'm a business-focussed Tech Architect and Agile Delivery Consultant with a proven track record in delivering complex solutions for enterprise-scale private- and public-sector clients.

I believe strongly in outcome-oriented agile delivery and enthusiast for kanban, impact mapping and lean working practices.

I regularly present on topics including the process of how to deliver software more effectively, and the use of geospatial technologies in content management systems. I hold a BA in History and Archaeology and an MA in History of Ideas from the University of London. I'm an individual member of the Drupal Association and vice-chair of BCS's Location Information Specialist Group.
