I use technology to make industries lighter on their feet.

More on my current roles

At Target3D, the team and I work as a technology consultancy. We design and sell 3D systems end to end and train the people who run them. Depending on the project I wear the consultant, assistant director, technical director or producer hat.

At StudioT3D I run studio services from London and Gateshead. On Dune: Awakening I was head of studio, working with director Beth Park to turn creative requirements into something the technical team could build. On Norse: Oath of Blood I worked with the commercial lead from quote through to delivery, keeping scope, budget and deadline in step.

Much of the rest is research and education: installing systems for labs and universities, training the operators, and tuning accuracy and latency so the data can be trusted. I also sit on the board of DriveFlow AI, which builds performance intelligence for motorsport, and as Commercial Partner at Root & Branch I help with its work on digital sustainability.

The same habit runs through all of it: find where precision technology can remove waste, error or delay.
