He frequently mentors and takes workshops, and is a regular at events like Virtual Creative Coding Fest, SECIP, and the Fab conferences.

He has worked primarily on Lighting and Healthcare products, but has also done Installations, Consumer electronics and other areas. He does Product and Process Development, and consults on production and manufacturing as well.

Being closely involved in digital fabrication, he has a line of everyday objects created where mathematics, art, pop-culture, and tech overlap, under his line The Cabinet of Curiosities.

He is interested in exploring the intersection of mathematics, code and art on the one hand, and the effects of history and culture on behaviour, on the other, and wonders if the two could come together.
