Building the product for Agents at football's only transfer marketplace.

Leading the Product Transformation of the trading broker which owns the brands Alpari and FXTM, used by over 1.5M Clients in over 150 countries.

Helping to drive the product that helps over 15M users achieve greater financial wellbeing.

Leading a new technology team based in Budapest. The development of a single source of loss prevention decision making at Tesco, across any market or channel. Finding the right balance between speed and security, to drive a frictionless experience for customers. To grow sales and minimise losses.

Contact Service: Masking all the complexity of communication technology so that other Tesco services can simply focus on having great conversations. The service was managed through its growth phase. For the first time Tesco services could onboard new message journeys in hours instead of weeks, whilst supporting the scale at which Tesco operates at in 8 countries around the world.Clubard: Working with a software engineering team in India and across the wider business on a much needed modernisation of the 30-year-old Tesco Clubcard loyalty scheme. Customers no longer have to wait 3 months, Faster Vouchers allows customers the ability to extract the value they have earned whenever they chose.Tesco Labs: Reshaping marketing strategy. We are influenced by the world in more ways than ever before, but can Tesco make sense of this? Using the latest technologies a revolutionary system makes sense of real-time trends from sources such as Google, social media, traditional media, TV and even the weather. This would allow Tesco to understand its customers better than anyone else, respond to trends in real time and drive real insights.Customer Order & Extended Range:Reimaging how Tesco can offer its customers more products in more ways than ever before, with more fulfilment options and develop a profitable online marketplace. To say this is complex is an understatement, but a technology vision and roadmap was developed that is now being implemented as Tesco realigns its business strategy for the future.

Being able to separate cells, the basic building blocks that make up all life on Earth, is becoming more important in science and medicine. Estimates predict the market for it will exceed $6.3bn by 2020 worldwide, but current separation methods are slow, costly and are not always fit for use in medicine. We can do better!Recently, it has been shown at the University of Leeds that different cells can be separated by electrical waves. For those who like science words this process has the catchy name of remote dielectrophoresis (DEP) induced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). When combined with the latest microfludic technologies this forms a new approach to the problem of cell separation that could be faster, cheaper and less damaging than current separation methods. During this project I undertook the complex engineering challenge of designing, building and using what was termed an electro-rotation device. I had no idea what that was at first either, but it is a device that can be used to first trap and then measure the electrical properties of individual cells. No easy task when you consider how tiny and fragile a single biological cell is. This information is needed so that new cell separation devices can then be designed, with these devices then revolutionising next generation regenerative medicine I am sure.

Working at the University of Leeds until 2013 and then at Sheffield, and taking inspiration from nature. Can we find better, cheaper and greener ways to manufacture materials? With the long term aim of being able to do what nature does, and literally, yes literally, grow useful materials and technologies from the ground up. The rapid advances currently being made in technology and the drive towards miniaturisation means now more than ever we need reliable, affordable and environmentally friendly methods to manufacture materials on the nanoscale (1 billionth of a meter or very small). Millions of years of evolution has resulted in nature being able to control the formation of a wide range of materials with nanoscale precision, which make up the remarkable machines we call life. From unconscious single cell bacteria to supposedly intelligent humans. In this project I worked across many different scientific disciplines to replicate the processes that happen in nature, and was the the first person ever in human history to see with my own eyes (actually with the help of clever machines as the nanoscale is too small to even be viewed with traditional light microscopes) magnetic materials grown on surfaces with incredible nanoscale precision. The first steps towards being able to grow the computer, mobile or whatever else you may be reading this on.

Funding from the Karlsruhe House of Young Scientists allowed research to be carried out at the Institute of Nanotechnology at KIT, providing access to alternative equipment, expertise and the formation an international collaboration. Plus I got to live in Germany.

Doing everything I could to promote the STEM subjects to young people! Very important!
