Biography

I am the Module Leader for Systems and Architecture in Year 1 Computer Science. The module develops a foundational understanding of computer architecture, from digital logic and data representation to processors and memory hierarchies, equipping students with the conceptual tools needed for later study in programming, operating systems, compilers, and performance optimisation.

I am the National Organiser for Eurobot – An autonomous robotics competition. This aims to foster and develop the interest in robotics in young people on an international scale.

For industrial experience, I have worked as a CPU Architect providing software for various architectures for over a decade. Additionally, I have written firmware for the automotive industry for various Software Defined Vehicle projects.
