Research Interests
I'm interested in helping people build better software and look for collaborative opportunities in light of what can be done with the Aberdeen Software Factory. This is also underpinned by the teaching done on software project management using agile, lean and kanban approaches.

Collaborations
I collobarate with a number of groups both within the university, and outside of it as the manager of the Aberdeen Software Factory, which places students with different projects that need software developed. While the project started out with only group projects working on client projects, it has now evolved to work with paying clients.

Research Grants
In the 2010-2011 academic year I recieved three grants from Scottish Funding Councils Innovation Voucher scheme which fund the Aberdeen Software Factory for its paid work with external clients, and enable its other activities.
I also run an ongoing grant with Amazon Web Services, which allows our students to use its services as part of its AWS in Education scheme. We have been using this since 2008 with our advanced MSc students.
