What I do

I am a Senior Research Software Engineer at Advanced Research Computing, at Durham University, where I lead the RSE Team providing professional software engineering services to academic research. I did my PhD research at Open Lab, Newcastle University, exploring how to design inclusive smart buildings for real humans, and completed a postdoc with the TGRAINS project where I produced a web app for modelling crop distribution. My research interests are sustainability, pervasive sensing, social justice, and data-driven activism.

Projects and Experience

I love open-source hardware and software, web development, Docker, and Python. I provide consultancy on topics including Internet of Things, application stacks, containerisation and web development. Feel free to contact me for a quotation for your project.
