I hold a BEng (Hons) and MSc in Electronic Engineering from Queen Mary College and the University of Wales (1994). Over the first 15 years of my career, I worked as a software and test engineer at companies including Ericsson, Cisco Systems, and GN Nettest. After completing an MBA at Bayes Business School (2010), I spent the next decade in network architecture and testing roles at Vodafone and Telefónica O2. I completed my PGCE in computer science at the University of Roehampton in 2024 and joined Ada as a Computer Science teacher in June 2025.
