With over three decades in the IT industry, I bring to the table a blend of expertise in Senior Network Engineering and web development. My journey began in the 1990s, as one of the early adopters of the internet, and culminated in crafting my first website in 1998. This depth of experience provides me with a nuanced understanding of both the technical and business aspects of the digital world.
Parallel to my career in IT, my passion for aviation and aerospace has been soaring for over sixty years. As a UK-certified Private Pilot (PPL) and a former RPQ-s certified drone operator, my credentials speak to my commitment and fascination with the aviation sector. My academic background in Aviation Studies from Farnborough Technical College further solidifies my credibility in this field.
But my interests aren't just confined to the sky; they also venture into the world of online communities. In 2005, I took the entrepreneurial leap and launched my first online dating platform, later expanding to operate multiple successful websites. My knack for spotting trends led me to the aerial photography business in 2013, fusing my love for technology and aviation.
More recently, in 2019, I established a digital platform focused on curating news about the UFO/UAP phenomenon, bridging my interests in aviation and unexplained aerial phenomena. Nowadays, my attention has shifted towards the cutting-edge realm of generative AI tools, exploring their practical and potential applications across various sectors.
