BIO
I've been obsessed with unmanned systems since I was a kid. Nobody was going to teach me embedded electronics or PCB design, so I taught myself. Since then, I've built Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) training and diagnostic hardware for militaries - plus a few projects I'm still not allowed to talk about. I've trained special forces in fifth-generation warfare and modern IED tech. I'm from a small island called Guernsey. These days I run a company building tech that keeps the country safe.
