Comedian, Activist, Host of Redacted Tonight

Available for work and/or strategic partnerships. I provide technical consultancy to companies from Startups and VCs to large multinationals, specialising in all aspects of software development, including solutions architecture, coding and testing. Background - Previously consulted for Microsoft and held further CTO, senior consulting and advisory roles (Startups, SMEs and large corporations) as an independent contractor. Looking to consult on innovative products, services & ‘Greenfield’ projects. Since the mid 1990’s I have been designing and developing products & services for multi-national companies, SMEs and startups. These are often large-scale and highly transactional and many are still in use by millions of people today. Safaricom’s ‘m-pesa’ (Developed by Vodafone & Sagentia in 2007-2009) is an example of one of these systems in commercial use today. It has radically changed the concept of banking for the many previously ‘unbanked’ in developing countries. During my twenty-plus year IT career, I have proven quick to adopt new technology and adapt to changes in ways of working with people and teams across companies and kept with the rapid pace of innovation in business. What I am looking for – I seek to work with people and companies delivering innovative products and services. I am looking to help design and improve IT systems supporting those activities. What I can offer – I offer a flexible consulting approach (contract to perm), working with you by helping to produce or facilitate, lead and/or mentor your team. Architecting the design and development of solutions to your (or your end-clients’) business and technical requirements, I can achieve great efficiency within budget and time constraints to the highest quality.
