Background
In a former life I gained a Masters in Physics at the University of Manchester, where I gained multiple awards including the prestigious “Prize of the Institute” (UMIST). My specialist area was in the modeling of nuclear decay using neural network techniques.
In 2002, I span out a new technology into a Masters in Enterprise at the Manchester Science and Enterprise Centre. During this time, I crystallized a business concept to deliver software for information management in energy services. This eventually became Information Prophets Ltd in 2003.
Outside i-Prophets
When not working cooking in where I find enjoyment to slow down from the otherwise intensive workload. Watching lots of films helps me escape into another reality. My favorite exercise is swimming, which is a new found skill at the age of 28!
