I'm a driven and creative techno-optimist passionate about advancing precision measurement to solve real-world problems. From mapping the tiny magnetic fields of the human heart to profiling the vast kilometers of atmosphere above us, I thrive on turning innovative ideas into impactful solutions.My journey began with a master's project where I built a photonic system to induce and measure Rabi oscillations in a beam of atoms, complete with a digital twin. This experience ignited my fascination with quantum physics and measurement systems, leading me to earn a PhD from the University of Leeds. There, I delved into magnetocardiography, taking a novel device from concept through prototyping and clinical trials to a commercial spin-out. This work not only pushed the boundaries of medical diagnostics but also implemented high performance machine learning for early detection of ischemic heart disease.Entrepreneurship is where my passion meets purpose. My first startup in 2011 was an additive manufacturing service using open-source 3D printers—ahead of its time and a thrilling ride into the world of innovation. I've also developed new products and manufacturing processes for a seed-stage microfluidic device company and served as a director for a community interest corporation focused on children's education in technology, especially electronics and physics.A decade of successful tech investing enabled me to seed fund Menapia, where I now serve as CEO/CTO. We're a small, dedicated team committed to becoming the leading provider of services and hardware for robotic atmospheric profiling. Our mission is to create value for the atmospheric science and meteorological communities by closing the data gap in in-situ atmospheric observations that's currently limiting weather forecast accuracy and research potential.I'm always eager to connect with fellow innovators, technologists, and anyone passionate about using technology to make a positive impact.
