I started my working life as a
motor mechanic. I then transferred my skills into petrochemical
engineering, mostly working within the off-shore industry. Having an
interest in electronics and computing I then took opportunities within
the pharmaceutical industry, gaining experience within autonomous
production line systems. Opportunities became available within the
nuclear industry where I gained experience at the Atomic Weapons
Research Establishment. British Telecom then sponsored my PhD in
artificial intelligence which channeled my carrier into engineering
management. Having a thirst for knowledge, I undertook lecturing duties
at universities. I taught in many subjects including communications and
engineering and supervised over 100 master’s projects. I was also a
member of HM services where I gained experience with multi rocket
launching systems.
I am currently researching and
developing GPS technology. Using novel methods we have reduced the
typical GPS of 4 metres down to less then 1 metre. Several international
patents have been filed. Many secondary devices have evolved from
employing the technology, including speed measurement and accurate GEO
fencing. Media attention has driven world wide sales and the embedment
of our application into devices such as mobile phones. This system is
now employed in Europe and many countries including the US, Australia
and India.
My spare time
is currently taken up developing a Colour frequency identification system
(CFID). The project is considered novel and once patents have been filed
more information will be available.
