From podcasts to photography to props to people, I have spent a career not following a particular path. Also I like alliteration.

Simply Spiked Lie Detector

Promo Video  Official Site  Blog post

Hired to design and fabricate the world's first lie detector in a can. Using an ESP32, GSR sensors and a heartrate sensor.

All internal structure, user experience, control systems and integration was developed by me.

CORONA RECHARGE

Promo Video  Blog Post

W+K wanted the Corona Recharge fridge to be a "self-aware" system.

We'd use Machine Learning and a camera to detect the battery level of a mobile device.

When the battery was low enough, the fridge would unlock.

The model was trained by Patrick Daggitt, now Head of Innovation for Thinkingbox.

CORONA RECHARGE

I designed the entire fridge casing and components.

The safety systems, unlocking and aesthetic were my responsibility.

DISMISSED

Spotify  Apple Podcasts  Show-notes

Podcast launched mid-2022 after being let go from my job as Senior Creative Technologist for Thinkingbox.

While deciding what to do next, my mother texted the idea of the podcast as a way of providing advice to others in a similar situation.

Spotify  Apple Podcasts  Show-notes

A gut check post was put out on various social media channels asking what people thought about the idea.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, with a number of people volunteering to be interviewed.
