About

I am an architect, building services designer, structural draughter, educator & developer.

My current area of interest is in exploring  Asset & Facilities Management tools based on capturing information at Design/Construction phase for use throughout the life of the building. Tools I am using are open-source or common programmes to allow maximum accessibility to the information both in geometric and data format.

This has dropped me into the world of programming HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, VBA, PHP & AJAX to name but a few distractions.
