I'm current the Chief Film Technology Officer of Gower Street Analytics, a company doing data science and predictive analytics in the film business.
Before that I consulted in technical architecture and agile management, and I trained and coached teams in agile, BDD, automated testing, clean code and great team practices. I was CEO of Eden Development, a client services company, from 2005 to 2011. I also released the indie game Sol Trader in 2016, and still work on games as a side project.
Past clients have included large organisations such as the BBC and Cabinet Office (working at GDS on the new GOV.UK platform and the first version of e-petitions) as well as a number of startups.
You can find me on the Fediverse and on Twitter.
