Me

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog. I like to provide insight on major IT change programmes. I am in the relatively unique position of having worked on AI, Geospatial data, Genomics, Life Sciences, Covid-19 research and 5G implementations.

I’m currently working as a consultant CTO having worked as the CTO for Nature Metrics and Health Data Research UK. Previously I was the Chief IT Architect and Head of Software Engineering at the Francis Crick Institute (amazing science in an amazing location). I am an advisor to MEC start-up ori.co (doing some really interesting stuff at the moment). Previously I was the Chief IT architect and 5G lead at UK mobile operator EE . Currently I am busy with Covid-19 relating testing and research processes. I’m also regular conference speaker (a lot of stuff for TMForum).

I started my career as a Java developer with BEA Systems working on the Weblogic Application Server product line. I have worked in Finance (Barclays Capital & Bupa Insurance) or Telcos including: Telefonica, o2 UK, T-Mobile UK, UPC NL, UPC Austria, UPC Global, QWest USA, Vodafone Group, Vodafone UK, Vodacom South Africa, Vodafone India, BT & EE.

If you want to know more, just want to chat or get some advice, or are even looking to hire an enterprise architect for your project then please reach out.

Thx,

Charles
