Born in Northern Ireland, I was the first non-white person to go my grammar school in 1989. I love technology and its ability to free and connect us: after a degree in Computer Science and a MPhil in the same went on to do a doctorate in Artificial Intelligence. During the latter stages of the Ph.D I was invited to work on building the first Internet Operating system for Fotango in London. From there I worked for several companies in architectural roles, culminating in a senior architectural post at Razorfish, followed by leading the platform refresh for the Daily Telegraph before moving into a position as the senior architect for Akamai Technologies in London. I became their Performance and Security expert, before leaving to run Razormind.
