THOUGHTS ON TECH, PHOTOGRAPHY AND MINDFULNESS

Originally from the UK, I now work for Microsoft and live in Seattle, WA. I run Program Management, Design and Editorial for Bing’s User Experiences (www.bing.com). It’s an amazing job in one of the most exciting areas in the industry, Internet Search. I have an incredible team and am fortunate to work alongside some of the best and brightest minds in tech.

I’ve been in the US for 3 years, having lived in Singapore for 5 years prior to here when I ran my own software company, Kikker Interactive. Kikker was acquired by Microsoft in 2008. This year, it’ll be my fifteen year in the tech industry. You can read more about my profile on LinkedIn.

I’m fortunate to live a life filled with passions. I’m a vegetarian (kinda vegan), I love animals and there’s few things I enjoy more than road trips or hikes with my wife and 2 dogs. I’m also deeply passionate about photography - one of the easiest activities that allows me to drop into a state of flow. In recent years I’ve become more interested in mindfulness and psychology of happiness - both for personal and professional reasons. You can see more of my photos here.
