  • I am currently a Software Engineer and Director at Botticelli Consulting Limited based in Cambridge, England. We specialise in providing expert consultancy services in computer graphics, computer vision and image processing, as well as (assist in) specify, design, implement and test custom software for any company that requires it.
  • I was a Software Development Engineer (SDE) with Microsoft Research Cambridge, from 2005 to 2007, where I worked on projects in computer vision and machine learning. A lot of cool stuff is going on behind the (glass) doors of this particular lab..!
  • Before that, I worked in the computer games industry for nearly 6 years, developing games for the PC, Xbox, PS2, and PSP.
  • My professional interests lie in real-time computer graphics, image processing and computer vision. I've got really rather interested in the latter as of late.
  • I absolutely love mathematics and problem solving. I am a mathematician by training.
  • Another long-term hobby of mine is investing in the stock market. No, I don't mean trading, I mean acquiring part-ownership in a great business for a cheap price. My heroes are Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, and Peter Lynch.

music (new!)

When I'm not busy breaking my brains, I like playing the guitar (blues, rock, and a wee bit of jazz). I have several guitars, 2 acoustic, and 3 electric, including a Gibson Les Paul, and an SG. If you're interested in some of my noise, check it out here!

I like writing. I especially like writing about my research findings. Here's a selection of the things that I have written about, as well as the books that I have contributed to.
