My journey has been a diverse tapestry of roles and experiences. I've delved into the world of computer science as a PhD student, a computational scientist, and a seasoned software engineer, progressing from developer to lead engineer and ultimately managing a software engineering department.

Driven by a passion for education, I've embraced roles as an educationalist, instructional designer, learning specialist, and pedagogical expert. I've actively contributed to education innovation by leading digital skills workshops and conducting research in agile methodologies within educational settings.

Beyond the professional realm, I'm an avid golfer, pursuing my passion as a golf instructor and even exploring my creative side through golf course architecture. I'm also a coffee enthusiast, having honed my skills as a barista and developing a deep appreciation for the art of coffee making.

My interests extend beyond the professional and academic, encompassing a range of hobbies and pursuits. I'm an experienced skier, a keen photographer – capturing and editing images with meticulous attention to detail, including photo retouching – and a passionate gamer, having lectured on game design and even delved into game development, particularly focusing on game physics.

This diverse background has shaped my perspective and equipped me with a unique set of skills and experiences that I bring to every endeavor.
