I am a researcher at the Auckland University of Technology (AUT), studying avionics. My research focuses on landing gear and control system electronics. Coupled with that, I am a Sessional Lecturer in Software Engineering at the Otago Polytechnic in Auckland, where I teach both software development and hardware courses.

My interest in Science Fiction complements my love of science. Over the years, those two realms have grown closer and closer together. We saw flip-top communicators first on Star Trek TOS. A few decades later, Motorola were developing the first flip mobile phones. So in many ways, I am seeing so many of my beloved science fiction visions slowly being fulfilled.

I love my world ...
