I run technology for a multinational manufacturer of embedded computers and displays. I also advise smaller businesses through Shwok Technology Consulting, and keep a workbench for problems that need an oscilloscope rather than a slide deck.

What I do

Three jobs, one approach

The same habits apply in each: understand why something works, cost the risk, and build things that are still maintainable next year.

Executive

SVP Technology at a UK-headquartered PLC that designs and manufactures embedded PC and display systems. Infrastructure, business systems, security and the teams that run them, across four countries.
