About
Hello! I'm a technologist and writer. You might like to read my 2025 in review, or my theory of life.
Right now I publish independent energy analysis, and work on Virtual Power Plants at Axle Energy.
Previously, I
- VC'd at a couple of VCs
- Built Octopus Electric Vehicle's pricing platform
- Worked on edge deployment of AI models at Arm
- Wrote about tech for WIRED, The Register, Hackaday
- Worked on the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report
- Made cool PCBs for boring companies at Cambridge Consultants
My energy analysis has appeared in The Economist, The FT, The Times, and more. My goofy projects have appeared in the BBC and Time Out
I am lucky to be/have been a fellow at the Centre for British Progress, EF's Polaris, the Roots of Progress, and to be supported by Emergent Ventures and the Royal Academy of Engineering.
