Hi 👋, I’m Tim—a Belfast-based IT Consultant with a PhD in Computer Vision and a lifelong passion for emerging technology. These days, I work in architecture, where I thrive on solving real-world problems and shaping the big picture.

At heart though, I’m an engineer and always will be: hands-on, curious, and always building something new.

☀️ By Day

  • Solution & Enterprise Architecture
    Designing secure, scalable systems—often at the edge of legacy and modern stack integration. I pride myself on my ability to truly understand the architectural culture and motivations of my clients.

  • AI Engineering, Architecture & Strategy
    I drive adoption of AI enabled SDLC best practices across engineering teams and also design practical AI solutions that target real-world business needs.

  • Cloud Architecture & DevSecOps Strategy
    I help organisations align tech goals with business objectives, and building security into their pipelines and workflows from day one.

  • Security-First Design
    Backed by CISSP and CCSP certifications, I understand the importance of process and discipline when it comes to technology solutions and governance.

🌖 By Night

  • Investing & Capital Markets
    I enjoy trying out on all things investment, stocks and shares, ISAs, ETFs and so on - I have been known to say “buy the dip and HODL” as if I know what I’m doing on occasion (I don’t).

  • Technology Research
    I’m fascinated by how technologies like agentic AI are reshaping software, security, and business—and I’m always experimenting, learning, and sharing what I find.

  • Reading Fiction
    To disconnect from the screens, I dive into fiction. I’m particularly drawn to gripping thrillers, immersive historical settings, and the expansive worlds of sci-fi and fantasy.

  • Family & Travel
    Being a dad to two amazing daughters is my greatest adventure. We love travelling together, exploring new places, and making lifelong memories far away from the keyboard.
