Hello and welcome. I’m a technology lead & enthusiast in Wales. I enjoy 🏋️♂️ fitness, I love to ✈️ travel, and I’m a 🐶 proud dog dad!
I’m into startups & small businesses, indie or open-source tech projects, and self-hosting.
💡 Since 2016 I have been Chief Technology Officer at enterprise SaaS company Simply Do Ideas. Before this I was a software engineer at Chaser.
📦 I build and maintain a number of projects - both open-source and commercial. I am a co-founder of Trialflare.
🎓 I completed my PhD at Cardiff University’s School of Computer Science & Informatics in 2015.
🤓 I worked on the IBM-led UK MoD and US Army Research Labs coalition ITA project as a postdoctoral research associate.
👨🏫 I lectured the Advanced Computer Science MSc module Web & Social Computing and the Computer Science BSc module Human-Computer Interaction
📝 I write about technology and things I find interesting on my blog (📥 RSS feeds available).
🌱 I curate a collection of thoughts, links and notes.
🚀 I (occasionally) publish additional content on my geminispace at gemini://wilw.capsule.town (see this post for help with opening this link).
👨💻 Some of my research publications are available here.
