At M2M Cloud we provide IoT solutions which receive data directly from a wide variety of devices types including temperature sensors and telematics devices in order to provide data insight and therefore derive tangible business benefits for our clients. Lighthouse our highly scalable Azure deployed IoT solution offers complete connected Device Management features including remote telemetry, behaviour configuration, predictive maintenance and firmware management. At the heart of the solution a configurable rule engine allows the creation of data driven events, user notifications and reports, and data to be served to our suite of web and mobile applications. We work with customers such as Bike Trac who have been able to realise 94% motorcycle recovery rates over many years using the software designed, built and maintained by M2MCloud. In addition to my responsibilities managing software deliveries I am also involved in using predictive analytics facilities with aggregated device accelerometer data, geospatial data as well as data from other sources to make informed predictions. I use existing, well understood Data Feature as well as performing Data Feature Engineering in order to extract new insight and further improve the existing prediction models. Using Microsoft Cortana Analytics Intelligence Suite in concert with the predictive modelling features of R to gain deep insight into predictions such as First Notification of Loss (Crash vs Non-Crash). I have also been involved in geospatial analysis projects in order to determine patterns from aggregated data to allow performance improvement in the prediction facilities.

Collision Management Systems produce DriveGuard, market leading crash filtering and claims management handling software. The DriveGuard system allows notification of crash discovery to be raised with an operator, allowing contact with the driver and in severe cases with emergency services. The DriveGuard classification engine analyses each event and is able to accurately filter out over 98% of false crashes across various vehicle types.I am a key architect of the DriveGuard solution, having managed the development team since 2012. My experience of data aggregation from a wide range of connected devices has facilitated the integrations with third party solution partners. In addition, I have been responsible for the modelling and implementation of the FNOL crash determination algorithms using various heuristic and machine learning methodologies.

At Alpha Micro Systems we serviced the Internet of Things before it was even called the Internet of Things! Working closely with our hardware partner Alpha Micro Components we created fleet telematics and asset management solutions to a diverse range of customers including Road Angel. My main responsibilities included project management, requirements gathering, functional specification creation, and managing the delivery of software releases. In addition to my project management duties I was involved in designing and developing rich interactive UI temporal and geospatial visualisations (in Microsoft Bing Mapping and Google Maps) using JavaScript, jQuery, HTML 5 and CSS.

At Sapphire Manufacturing Systems Limited we built Sapphire, a Manufacturing control and ERP solution which integrated with Sage account software. My key responsibility was the management of the support team. In addition I was responsible for company marketing strategy including corporate website responsibilities such as Search Engine Optimisation and brochure design.
