I am a cheery creative geek and social media expert, with experience in everything from medical science to web development.

My first computer had 5k of RAM, most of which I used to make naughty words move around the screen in different colours. Now fuelled with considerably more processing power, billions of Facebook interactions, and a room full of ultra-talented tecchies, I'm using big (and I mean big) data to connect audiences to content they’ll love.

For a flavour of what we do, check out the Likely Dashboard (beta) - it's free.

In my spare time (ha) I also run multi-award-nominated website ReallyKidFriendly.com, with ideas and inspiration for things to do with the kids.

Every now and then I take a break from "things to do with the kids" and look (rather desperately) for an excuse for a little "me time". And no, by "me time" I don't mean time to chop vegetables for yet another chicken casserole or carefully laying out...

How to Predict a Flu Epidemic: Flusurvey

(2) Comments | Posted 16 November 2011 | (21:49)

I made the mistake of watching Contagion at the movies a couple weeks before having my flu jab. Never before have I been so acutely aware of the sniffles and stifled coughs of strangers sitting near me in the audience. Incredible, I thought, how one tiny little virus can cause...

Why Are London's Youth Terrorising Communities Without Remorse?

(14) Comments | Posted 11 August 2011 | (09:53)

When I was 19 I met a boy. Handsome, clever, with jet-black hair and olive skin, a pensive 16 year old boy called Chris. I remember being fascinated by his eyes: at a glance, a warm deep brown. But as we talked, all I could see was a hollowness, pain,...
