About

December 2025

In 2020, when I first set up this site in Wordpress, I wrote:

I am passionate about the people side of projects and business change.

This is still my passion, and a personal strength, but for the past couple of years my role has directed me towards the quantitative side of business analysis. It’s now fascinating to see how that side - the data and numbers - is becoming more and more part of the capabilities of AI, and I’m interested to see how things develop.

I also wrote in the original ‘about’ page:

I’m two years into a part time analytical philosophy degree.

I’ve now graduated from that degree (with first class honours) and finishing it - in theory, at least - gave me time to explore some more of my many, many interests. So in June 2025 I restarted a digital garden - an informal place to capture and develop thoughts. The plan was that as those thoughts become more developed, they would become pages on this site. However, a focus on learning about AI, and also on my day job, has meant I have not given the digital garden the time it needs or deserves.

On the subject of philosophy, I also wrote:

Philosophy teaches you to think, and what could be better than that?

I’m still fascinated by the way that humans think - or, in fact, seemingly often don’t think. And, with the rise of AI now performing so much of the linear ‘thinking’ that has been taught for so long, how humans will need to develop their own models of thinking to more critically engage with AI. So, that’s a starting point for exploration.

On the subject of thinking differently, I have, within the the past three years, discovered why it has always seem to me that I do think differently to others. That new self knowledge and, just a few months later, coming to faith after many years of heavy scepticism, has been truly transformative - every aspect of my life has changed and improved: my approach to life, performance at work and my relationships.

Finally, five years ago I wrote:

I prefer coffee to tea, books to parties, and I’m happiest when I’m by the sea.

And that, my friends, hasn’t changed at all…
