About
I am an engineer, former academic and medtech CTO with experience spanning experimental science, technical product development, scientific workflows and early-stage commercialisation.
My background includes engineering research, scientific programming, data analysis, laboratory systems and medtech development, with a particular interest in the point where technical uncertainty meets commercial pressure.
From 2013–2025, I taught and supervised students across two UK universities while supporting technical and experimental work across engineering and scientific environments.
Technical Background
- PhD in Microsystems Technology
- Former university academic and technical educator
- Published researcher in sensing, eTextiles and experimental technologies
- Experience spanning medtech, wearable sensing and experimental systems
- Background across hardware, software, automation and scientific data analysis
- Experience contributing to technical, regulatory and operational activities within start-up environments
Selected Technical Areas
- Microsystem and sensing technologies
- Electrothermal micro-actuation and MEMS devices
- Experimental thermal and fluidic systems
- Wearable and eTextile sensing technologies
- Scientific data analysis and reproducible workflows
- Instrumentation, embedded systems and technical automation
- Respiratory and biomedical technology development
My technical work has included electrothermally actuated microgrippers, microscale thermal and fluidic systems, rectenna-based energy harvesting concepts, and wearable/eTextile sensing technologies, with particular success in embroidered temperature sensing systems and experimental sensing platforms.
I recently served as CTO of a UK medtech company, contributing to the development and regulatory progression of respiratory medical technologies, including work towards CE marking of a respiratory device platform.
My experience spans academic research, spinouts and early-stage commercial environments, providing practical insight into how complex technologies move from concept through to real-world application.
I combine technical depth with strategic oversight, allowing me to engage directly with engineering teams while helping founders and stakeholders make clear, well-informed decisions.
I work on focused engagements where clarity and pace matter, particularly around technical direction, funding preparation and regulatory milestones.
