Objective

Create positive change for people and their world.

Recent Work

• Live Coding. Take a look at my YouTube live-coding play-list.
  
  
• GitLab. My GitLab OO Course Software group, where I make some of my course software available - currently all projects are private, please ask me for access if you would like to take a look.
• Virtual and Augmented Reality. Ongoing work at the University of Worcester on use of modern VR, motion capture, and other sensor technology for health, physical activity, art, and other applications.
  
  
• HDR Video. My work on this began through a secondment to Bristol Immersive Technology Lab (a BBC/University of Bristol collaboration), where I explored workflows for capture/production/display of HDR video content.
  
  
• Course Development. Design and delivery of advanced OO design & programming modules at levels 5 and 6, which employ Java, C#, and C++ in a problem-based approach, covering basic principles through to advanced design patterns. Also design and delivery of a level 6 module on 'game engineering', which guides the students in design and development of their own game engine, using Monogame. I received a number of 'Students Choice Awards' nominations since 2014 for innovative modules and teaching. I am actively involved in the development of a new Tai Chi and Qigong Teacher qualification standard with CIMSPA.
  
  
• Coaching. I am a member of the University of Worcester's pool of Business Coaches, and I use a coaching approach to assist students on a day-day basis.

Interests & Experience

Technology

I view technology as an enabler for solving problems, and I have a lot of experience of doing this. I have worked in various fields of Electronics Engineering, and allied disciplines, for 37 years - mostly R&D. My role at the University of Worcester is focused on Software Engineering and Game Design/Development. During my time at the BBC, I worked on VR, AR, game engine related development, Interactive Storytelling, and cutting-edge video formats in TV/Movie production applications.

It stands to reason then that I am dabbling in technology R&D for Qigong and Meditation in my spare time, and I have a number of works-in-progress.

Health, Fitness, and Wellbeing

I have studied and practised Internal Martial Arts, Qigong, and Meditation for over 20 years. I teach these exercises in public, corporate, & educational settings. I also provide a form of Qigong Therapy (a complementary therapy called Buqi) to private clients.

Personal Reality

This covers a range of topics, including Hypnosis, Clean Language, Influence/persuasion (eg Cialdini, ELM), Values/Beliefs, 3 Principles, Tibetan Buddhist psychology, etc. I have pursued these interests for around 20 years, and I applied some of the more accessible elements in my past works on Interactive Storytelling.
