I am the editor of Enter Quantum at Informa.
I graduated from Salford University with a degree in Information Technology the year Tim Berners-Lee made all I had learnt obsolete by inventing the World Wide Web. Despite this, I spent 15 years working as an IT consultant before switching careers to journalism, specialising in technology and innovation.
I have specific industrial experience in writing about technology, notably quantum computing, defence, transport and energy, copy-writing and technical writing. With a background in IT consultancy, I am highly computer literate and fully embrace the challenges of a multimedia environment and social networking.
