I am founder and Managing Director of an award-winning software company, Black Marble. We specialise in high end development utilising the Microsoft stack, from cloud to mobile, web to intelligence, devops to rescue.

I've been programming my entire life, and I have a passion for development, and producing amazing solutions that engage people and their organisations.

I am enthusiastic about the development community; especially encouraging young people to move into software development. As a result I run a large number of events across Europe every year, including the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper (DDD) series (in the North of England, Reading and beyond).

In 2015, Microsoft recognised Black Marble as the world's best Windows-development organisation, and in 2016, as the the world's best devops organisation. This is based on our excellence in both development and development practices needed to build innovative solutions.

Recently I've been promoting a product I designed (tuServ) which is reimagining how police forces can mobilise and transform, and move into the future. It is currently saving police forces time and effort, enabling them to focus on frontline policing.
