I also even worked at a sports tech start-up, building bespoke applications for some of the biggest sports teams and organisations around the world.

I enjoy public speaking, and most notably presented a Case Study at the Gartner Data and Analytics Summit London - “What Tim Peake has for Breakfast and other Stories from the Frontier of Human Performance Analytics.”
