About Andrew


For a serious CV, please see my actual CV, or have a look at my pioneering research in AI.


An inventor wanders a Cambridge college quad, contemplating.

Professionally and by inclination, I am at core an inventor. Years ago I went to Cambridge, and then London. Some people see me as eccentric, though who knows why...

An inventor sits in a laboratory, creating AI-pwered devices.

Most of my R & D has, of course, been in the field of AI. Some of my work has been on physical electronic gadgets, often using "tiny AI" in micro-controllers. My most exciting work in this area has been on prosthetic senses.

A speaker explains the mysteries of AI to an audience in a lecture theatre.

I often give talks, and am a member of the British Computer Society's AI interest group committee, and help organise its annual AI conference in Cambridge. I am available to speak on the application of AI at corporate and academic events.

A Councillor stands in the debating chamber, making a strong argument.

I used to be a councillor, until I was ejected by my party group for preferring the welfare of the most vulnerable in our society to the interests of the party.

An amateur astronomer in an observatory at night uses a telescope to see the planets.

I am still fascinated by astronomy.

An exhasperated man is bound by chains to the thankless task of being an executor.

Though sadly much of my time is wasted as an executor. (Never be one, it is a thankless task as an unpaid administrator and tax inspector.)

A karate black-belt stands in the dojo.

I trained in Karate over a thirty year period.

A man happily plays his guitar, oblivious to the looks of pain on the faces of the other inhabitants.

And I also play the Spanish guitar when the house is empty.

A man is being tuaght in the kitchen by a French chef.

When I worked in a French Chateau the genuine Cordon-Bleu chef taught me... how to speak French!
