I like to think of myself as a bit of a tech Swiss-army knife; a curious generalist who loves rolling up his
sleeves to solve problems from every angle. Over the past eight years
I’ve designed brands and campaigns, led product design innovation at startups and venture studios, and worked
with enterprises and consultancies to bring new ideas to life. I’ve also had fun along the way! I built
open-source tools that was used by 25,000+ people, co-founded a UX research lab to empower startups and small
product teams accelerate research and product testing, and help early-stage companies raise over $750k
in pre-seed funding. That journey also earned me the UK Global Talent Award for Exceptional Talent & Leadership
in Technology in 2022.
Now I’m chasing my lifelong fascination with aviation. I’m currently at Cranfield University pursuing an MSc in
Safety and Human Factors in Aviation where I am exploring how to design systems that can support situation awareness,
cognitive offloading, and improve predictive safety in flight systems. My current research interest is in human-computer and human-machine interation in future flight deck interface design.
I am exploring the design of interaction modalities that enable human-centric interaction with technologies such as touchscreen and augumented reality interfaces in the cockpit.
