[edit] Who, me?

Appropedia - I became a director of the Appropedia Foundation (February 2008).

Engineers Without Borders UK - Having been involved since its early days, I am now the Chief Executive of EWB-UK based at our office in Cambridge. Much of EWB-UK's work focuses on appropriate and sustainable technologies and we work in partnership with a wide variety of technology-orientated organisations around the world.

UNESCO Engineering Report - I was the technical editor of this report during its three-year gestation up to its launch at the end of 2010. It is the first ever global report on engineering. Appropedia gets a mention!

RedR - I worked for disaster relief organisation RedR after my graduation in 2005 for just over three years. I did a variety of things like fundraising, training on their 'So You Think You Want To Be A Relief Worker?' workshops and organising their annual international conference. I worked for them in Kenya for three months in 2007 as 'Interim Country Director' based in Nairobi.

The Humanitarian Centre - I'm a co-founder of this is a great organisation, supporting the communities of Cambridge (UK) in their relief and development activities.

Robotic Unicycle Project - my final year project at uni and one that I like to go back to every now and then. I'm hoping to spend more time on it at some point soon, funding permitting.

In May 2011, I spoke at the Frost & Sullivan GIL Europe Conference, and helped the delegates to create these GIL Europe 2011 pages. If you want to see what I did at GIL Europe 2011 check out the Appropedia Conference Stall How-to.
