About Me

For the last nine years I've worked for i2. During that time I've seen the company grow from around 30 people to about 200 or so. Initially I worked as software developer and architect on their flagship product - the i2 Analyst's Notebook. Now I'm an architect/technology specialist across the all the company's products, but I also have a research and development role.

In my previous life I was a researcher in cosmology, collaborating with John Stewart and Dave Salopek in the General Relativity group in the Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University. My main paper was "Solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for general relativity". I collaborated on a fair number of other papers too (1, 2, 3).

I then re-trained in computing, doing a masters at Imperial College. There I worked with Abbas Edalat on fractals: "An Algorithm to Estimate the Hausdorff Dimension of Self-Affine Sets".

My first proper job was at Metron Technology, where I collaborated with Professor Peter Harrison at Imperial on performance models for ethernet networks. We wrote a couple of papers together: "Response Times in Client-Server Systems", "The Ethernet and its Modelling", and one I did myself: "Two Models of Ethernet Networks".
