[Brief_CV] => I am a seasoned data technology expert and business leader with over 20 years of experience across technology development, systems architecture, analysis, OSINT/FININT, and all aspects of data technology.
As the Founder and Managing Director of Tech City Group, I have led diverse data intelligence and digital forensics projects, including fraud detection, asset tracing, and analyzing complex datasets for litigation.
I excel at communicating technical concepts to non-technical audiences. I have provided expert witness services and technical briefings for cases including supply-chain hacking, push-payment fraud, and professional competency disputes in technology projects.
My deep expertise spans every aspect of technology development and data systems, with a particular interest in best practice development, data mining, machine learning, and emerging technologies such as Large Language Models.
With a broad range of experience I bring a multifaceted perspective to my expert witness work. As a technology expert with legal (LLB / LPC) training, I am able to translate technological issues into legal concepts with ease.
