I am driven by collecting and analysing data to give us new insights into what is going on around us and using these insights to create innovative products and services as well as helping us to make better informed decisions. As an engineer, I’m never happier than when I’m building things … be it software, electronic products, web services, robots or companies. After 10 years’ experience in the corporate world at IBM & Philips; as a sponsored student, graduate engineer and project manager (during which time I completed my MBA), I took the plunge into the start-up world. Having ridden the ups and downs in a few exciting start-ups including PixelFusion and DeepStream Technologies, I finally got to co-found my own where, with a great team, we get to build software tools, hardware and services that help our customers deliver great energy services to their clients.
