[edit] Who, me?

Let me start by telling you about some of the organisations I'm involved in...

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

RedR - I've worked for RedR since my graduation in 2005, and now do a variety of things like 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.

Engineers Without Borders UK - I've been involved since its early days (2002 maybe?) and became CEO in 2004-5, and I'm still involved in a variety of ways (mainly web admin!).

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

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.

[edit] Other stuff

UNESCO Engineering Report - this is really really exciting! UNESCO is writing its first ever Engineering Report, to sit alongside its Science and Education Reports etc. Due out in December 2008. I'm delighted to be an advisor and a contributor to the report.

More soon...
