Objective
Create positive change for people and their world.
Recent(ish) Work
- Testable MVVM Architecture.
Desktop forensics software (C# / .Net8 / AvaloniaUI / NUnit / Moq / Azure DevOps) applications,
using video/image processing, and real-time data interfacing with bespoke forensics hardware
- Java-based Software Engineering Practice Software.
A real-time graphics software framework for university students to build Java applications
that adhere to SOLID principles and apply design patterns
- HDR Video.
My work on this began through a secondment to Bristol Immersive Technology Lab
(a BBC/University of Bristol collaboration), where I developed software & workflows for capture, production,
and display of high dynamic range content for digital cinema and television. Software was primarily C++ on Linux.
- Various VR related projects.
embedding off-air television and art videos into 3D game environments,
which was used for art performances at SIGGRAPH 2003, SIGGRAPH 2004, and the UN WSIS 2005;
an experimental AR/VR-based ‘pre-viz’ system for film-makers;
and a prototype AR/VR-based 3DTV production system.
- Coaching.
I was a member of the University of Worcester's pool of Business Coaches,
and I used a coaching approach to assist students on a day-day basis.
- Over 20 publications on graphics, motion capture, video, image, and audio related technologies.

- Fellow of the HEA, Senior Instructor Member of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain.
Interests & Experience
I have ongoing interests in development of properly architected software applications, including use of Imaging/Video, AR/VR, & ML/AI technologies. I have worked in various fields of Electronics Engineering and Software Engineering since 1984. Highlights include:- Architecting unit-tested software (C# / AvaloniaUI / WPF) at Foster+Freeman Forensics Innovation, from Jan 2023 - present.
- Teaching Software Engineering (SOLID, Design Patterns, C#, Java, C++, NUnit, Moq) and Game Design/Development (primarily C# / Monogame) at Worcester University from 2014 - Jan 2023
- R&D in broadcast and media technology with the BBC from 1996 - 2014 - mainly focused on Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, and cutting-edge video formats for TV/Movie production
- Teaching Taijiquan, Qigong, and Meditation in my spare time.
- Fellow of the HEA, Senior Instructor Member of the Tai Chi Union for Great Britain.
