In this role, I'm using my experience of working in agile environments to help our customer development teams get better at what they do by coaching them in agile principles, values, and some of the nascent agile frameworks.

In this role, I used my skills and experience in dimensional data modeling, UX design, and agile ways of working to help one of our key government clients with their Investment Portfolio Build. This involved working with the Senior Portfolio Analyst to design and develop a Portfolio Build Reporting System utilising the Power Platform, especially Power BI. This work has enabled key stakeholders in the portfolio build process to explore investment portfolio data in an easy and intuitive way.

On this assignment for one of our key government clients, I assisted a team of network engineers on their agile journey. This involved acting as a ScrumMaster, as well as ensuring that standard customer service requests were managed utilising Kanban. I'm really proud of what the team achieved and how they've now embraced agile practices. Job done!

After my Ripjar experience, I still had the itch to start up another company. The opportunity arose to do this back in 2018 when I spotted an opportunity to deliver data products and delivery coaching services to an existing customer in a way that was a bit different. After discussing and developing these ideas further with three other like-minded individuals, TwentyThreeHundred was born!Like a lot of others, the pandemic made me re-evaluate what I wanted out of life, and part of that re-evaluation was to reduce my involvement in TwentyThreeHundred. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one. Like Ripjar before, I have lots of fond and treasured memories.

In this role, I led on the design, development and deployment of the Service Management Reporting System for the client’s Programme Management Office (PMO). This included: undertaking user research; evolving designs with users; building interfaces to the system using Power Apps, MS Forms and Power BI; documenting the design; managing the deployment and maintaining the system. Automation of data-flows was built into the design from the very beginning meaning the PMO had a very efficient reporting system for understanding how the PMO was performing for customers as well as the health of the delivery teams.Another highlight for me in this role was building a product called the Insights Management Console (IMC) for the PMO Insights Team. Built using Power Apps and the client’s Design System as a reference for the UI layout, the IMC allowed the team to understand the totality of its Product & Services Catalogue, as well as the status of those products. It also enabled a timely response to new requests from customers.Finally, I also introduced the PMO Insights team to Agile methods and acted as Scrum Master for the team. This involved guiding the team and product owners through the process as well as actively removing blockers to progress. An Agile culture is now embedded within the team culture.This role had been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career to date. It was a great team to work in, but it was time to move on...

Spent a number of years working as a PMO consultant. Essentially this boiled down to helping project managers understand how projects were progressing, and also helping them understand risks posed to their projects and advising them accordingly.

All things have to start somewhere, and Ripjar came about from a conversation over a coffee at work. Myself and the other founders didn't really know what we wanted to build, but we knew that we could build some great software/applications that would make a difference to the customers we were already collectively working for.My role was to get all the company foundations in place and to prep & review bid documentation, and, no doubt my project management and agile experience was put to good use. It was great fun working with my fellow co-founders. Lots of energy and excitement and burning the midnight oil to meet those bid deadlines!! I have really fond memories of these early times with Ripjar. Yet, as with all start-ups, things change. And, as the saying goes "When the fun stops. Stop!". The fun stopped for me after about 18mths, so it was the right time to move on. Still, I am still very proud of the part I played in getting Ripjar off the ground. A great experience.

I undertook various PMO-type roles, and also helped prepare bids for regional team. My final role before leaving EDS was that of Risk Manager for the AFPAA Programme in Winchester.

Great Malvern, Hereford And Worcester, United Kingdom

Worked in a small programme management team, assisting the Programme Manager and Senior Scientist to effectively deliver a Corporate Research Programme for the Defence Evaluation & Research Agency (DERA). Loved this job and the team I worked in, but then DERA was privatised and transformed into QinetiQ, and I figured that if I was going to in the private sector that I may as well look to earn private sector wages (which, at that time, paid a lot more than the public sector + my wife and I needed to get on the housing ladder!!)

After finishing my apprenticeship with the MOD, I became a PTO (Professional Technology Officer). My first role was as a Commissioning Diagnostician, which involved testing various communications installations and giving them the go ahead (or not) to be put to use. I did this for just over a year and then moved into project planning, and was responsible for planning the installations of various communications infrastructure packages across South Wales and West. I did a lot of work at RNAS Yeovilton. Great job, but rubbish pay, so moved to DERA on promotion.

Portsmouth, United Kingdom

Served a 4yr Telecommunications craft apprenticeship. It was brilliant! Learned lots, and had some great times with my fellow apprentices. It was kind of like the student lifestyle, but with money!
