My Journey
From Passion to Profession
I am no genius, that is for sure. However, I have always been fascinated by both modern and theoretical technology.
Early Life
As a child, long before the advent of the internet, I used to spend hours researching subjects and compiling little "projects" purely for the fun of it. This site carries on that theme in as much as all of the articles written here are a product of in-depth research and content compilation.
My Career
My working life was predominantly taken up by the application of various technologies through the industries I was involved in, starting with a four-year period in the television rental market and then moving into what would become my career; the conference and events industry.

My Background
My professional life has been dedicated to the IT industry, where I’ve gained extensive experience in everything from help desk support to strategic infrastructure management. I’ve worked with a diverse range of technologies, including networking, server management, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS. This hands-on experience has given me a practical, real-world understanding of how technology can empower or hinder an organisation’s goals.
Alongside my IT career, I studied Physics and general science at the Open University. This wasn’t just an academic exercise; it was the fulfilment of a lifelong curiosity about the ‘why’ behind everything. Studying concepts like relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology has profoundly shaped my approach to problem-solving, teaching me to think critically, analytically, and from first principles.
The Philosophy of HeadTeks
I created HeadTeks to be a space for curiosity. It’s a platform to share insights and demystify the complex topics that fascinate me, from the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence to the mind-bending implications of theoretical physics. The goal is to provide a source of information that is both accessible to the curious newcomer and engaging for the seasoned enthusiast.
This site is an ever-evolving project. It’s a place to explore ideas, build useful applications, and foster a community of individuals who believe that understanding science and technology is the key to navigating our future. Whether you’re here to learn about cybersecurity, ponder the mysteries of time, or try out a new web app, I’m glad to have you along for the journey.
