I studied Computer Science at the University of Warwick, then years later went back to take a Physics degree with the Open University, finishing with a thesis on adiabatic quantum computation. That curiosity has run through everything since: a genuine love of understanding how things work, whether that's how a computer works, quantum mechanics, or the clearest way to explain either to someone meeting it for the first time.

I've spent around 16 years deep in computing and AI - across startups, agencies and larger companies, and across a wide range of fields, from scientific research to data and machine learning. Wherever I went, people kept telling me the same thing: I had a knack for cutting through the noise and making a complicated idea simple.

Eventually I made that knack my focus. These days I work as a STEM communicator - science festivals, school STEM weeks, workshops, talks and interactive explainers that make AI and computing click for a real audience.

The part I enjoy most is explanation: finding the core of a thing - the one idea everything else hangs off - and showing it to someone simply, so it actually clicks. That's what my interactive explainers, talks, and school sessions are all about. Not dumbing things down, but getting to what really matters and making it land.
