I am a software engineering manager, currently working for a multinational engineering software company. I grew up in South East London and have been based in Oxfordshire for the last 25 years. My long experience in the engineering industry means I understand the significance of industry, science and technology and how they can have a positive impact in our daily lives.
I am a strong advocate of social and environmental justice, and have been engaged in environmental and social causes since my teens. I strongly believe that the way to make change happen is from the ground up, locally and by example. I have always felt that it is the responsibility of the whole of society to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
