As head of global information systems and innovation, I work with all departments for strategic planning and business analysis, managing a distributed team across territories; using clear, tailored communication to grow relationships with clients, stakeholders, developers, and end users. Working with design teams I implement collaborative tools for cross region knowledge sharing for research and design collaboration.I have extensive experience in delivering new system architectures and re-engineering existing systems with proven efficiency. Deploying modern, secure, enterprise scale, multi-million-pound projects with programmes spanning several years. Delivering and maintaining Finance, ERP, CRM and HCM business systems alongside integrated document management information systems.

We are a group of young programmers, photographers and architects devoted to the development of radical, unconventional software, art and architecture.Our objective is to produce urban interventions from both subversive non-conformist applications and imagery, exhibited through the digital canvas of our devices, to sophisticated high-tech multi-media responses and architectural systems.We aim to produce both conceptual and pragmatic reactions to both design and political objectives that are creatively and intellectually thorough.

I was based at FCB's London office from 2005, and worked across all offices on Architectural and IT projects. Projects include Broadcasting Place, producing the environmentally driven, daylight optimized facade. The facade has been designed to reduce solar gain, and optimize daylight into the building. The algorithm analysed solar data over each of the buildings elevations, and appropriately arranged the fenestration based on both the data and the aesthetic design requirements. The process was rapid and repeatable for multiple working options, while ensuring the efficiency of the passive environmental design. On Worcester Library and History Centre, I produced the complex parametric model of the roofscape. The roof has several environmental design features, which are controlled by variables while staying within structural constraints. The roof emphasizes the stack effect to naturally ventilate the building, while the large glazed areas are to allow sufficient light into the deep plan. I presented this work at the Bentley Be Inspired Awards in the US, where FCBS won in the Innovation in Generative Design category.On the IT side, I successfully released many applications for use inside and outside the practice. The practices website, the internal intranet and an online collaborative room data sheet system are a few of the active applications, with other future developments such as our Environmental Handbook on the internet and in mobile devices. He has also written for several publications based upon his work, including the RIBA publication "Space Craft-Developments in Architectural Computing".
