In this role I develop hardware, software and cloud development operations for bringing AI innovations to maritime transportation. I am currently developing solutions to increase maritime fleet availability, cut carbon emissions and reduce operational risk across shipping fleets around the globe. In this role I have developed bespoke hardware and software solutions from the ground up to capture live data from vessels and provide real-time insights to fleet operators. I have also developed software right across the tech stack - from embedded systems to cloud-based analytics.
In this role I provide technical support to the Faculty of Engineering and Environment, where I provide technical support with a computer science focus. I am currently exploring research-enabling solutions for digitising our Internet of Things (IoT) network, while supporting researchers within faculty. I have developed a large-scale data transport system for exposing building sensor data from secure Building Automation Control Networks (BACNet) to wide-area-networks across a bespoke, secure, and uni-directional infrastructure built on emergent research and security best practices
Alongside my PhD studies and work as a senior technician, I work supporting teaching at Northumbria University from levels 3 - 7. I teach in a range of subjects and roles within Computer and Information Sciences including demonstrating on Applied Computing and Project Management as well as preparing and delivering course materials on IoT Technologies. In this role, I have also supervised students and undertaken ethical reviews.
Ran multiplayer game servers for Arma 3 and GTA V; managed a team of 8 developers; developed visual game assets and environments; maintained MySQL databases; managed dedicated servers for VOIP communications and game-hosting; managed VPS for docker-based backend microservices, developed Arma assets using Bohemia SQF language and C#; developed GTA assets using Lua and JavaScript; used CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments of game updates to ensure seamless experience for our player base and community.
Seconded from Ryder Architecture, I worked on multiple projects across the UK and internationally. The primary role within in BIM Academy was to apply computer science to optimise business systems and deliver enhanced productivity, client service and design excellence for clients. The role also involved consultancy, strategic planning, data management and research.
Worked alongside Ryder’s Technologies department on various internal research and development projects. I developed various software systems, Revit plug-ins and optimised work flows for improving efficiencies within the design teams and the wider practice. The role involved developing a strong understanding the industry practices in architectural design and model development, whilst gaining an understanding of the problems that work orders and commissions placed on projects.
Worked closely with industry partners; Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) and ViewPoint, on DECCMR and Innovate UK funded projects. The role was a multi-disciplinary role, applying computer science to solve problems affecting the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. The role involved researching and applying machine learning principles to develop digital solutions for identifying assets within open standard 3D BIM models.
The role involved volunteering in various urban and rural schools across the Republic of Georgia, whilst accommodated by a local Georgian family. The aim of the program was to integrate native English speakers into the local schools and homes of local families, to instill western pedagogical methodologies and ideals into Georgian culture. The role involved teaching English to school children of all ages.

I am a passionate technologist and I love all aspects of development from embedded systems to front-end development and have a particular love for Vue/Nuxt/React/Next and use these on many of my projects. Aside to my professional skills I am also interested in graphic design, music production, 3D modelling, video & tabletop gaming, electronics, retro computing, and games development. I have a keen interest in virtual reality, and I am familiar with Unity, Unreal and PICO-8 game engines, though this is very much in a hobbyist capacity. I am interested in embedded systems and IoT devices e.g., FPGA / Arduino / Raspberry Pi development. The latter skills, coupled with my experience working with architects and BIM, are what inspired me to begin researching smart homes and IoT technologies.
Awarded for best best academic performance in level six Computer Science and Digital Technologies.
Awarded whilst volunteering as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teacher in the Republic of Georgia.
