Richard Speed Email & Phone Number

I combine a background in science and technology with industry management and leadership. I am able to explain complex topics in a simple and understandable manner thanks to decades of experience in both leading and working within teams and creating clear, concise and easy to understand documentation.I currently write for ITPro and am particularly interested in database technologies. I have also covered a wide variety of other topics, including cloud engineering, science and aeronautics. I have written for The Register and LeadDev.com and contributed pieces for technology companies.In 2022 I attended the launch of NASA's Artemis I, and spoke with the engineers and scientists involved. I have also visited ESA's Darmstadt operations centre, ESOC, as well as the Toulouse satellite manufacturing facility of Airbus. In the UK, I have visited the Dundee Satellite Station and spoken with Orbex and Skyrora, both of whom have plans for vertical launches from UK soil.From a technology standpoint, I regularly attend conferences such as Kubecon in order to remain current. I also keep abreast of developments in the field of clinical trials and medical research and am as happy parsing a research paper as I am reviewing a new piece of hardware or service.I am also a regular contributor to the long-running Digital Lifestyle podcast where I discuss consumer and smart home technology with my co-hosts.

Listed skills include Clinical Trials, Databases, Change Control, Gmp, and 13 others.
