Profile

Hi 👋, I’m Tim—a Belfast-based IT Consultant and Solution Architect with a PhD in Computer Vision. I work with clients on architecture at the edge of legacy and modern stacks, with AI, cloud, and security as first-class tools—not side quests.

At heart I’m an engineer: hands-on, curious, and always building something new. Away from the keyboard I’m a dad to two daughters, usually somewhere between a thriller, a travel plan, and pretending I know what “buy the dip” means.
