Evidence, infrastructure and ways of encountering place.

Each project enters through a different context, a research question, a production system, a housing campaign, a walk, but the same practice runs through all of them: understand how the system behaves, make its assumptions visible, then build something people can inspect and use. The case study and the critique describe one artefact, not two.

CommunityAI

2026–present

A privacy-safe community-intelligence layer for every neighbourhood in England, built on open data alone and engineered so each claim survives due diligence: clients join it to their own data, in their own environment, and never hand over a single person's record.

Shaping Cool Cities

2024–present

An urban-heat model fusing Landsat thermal imagery, 3D building morphology, street networks and street-level computer vision across six European cities at 30 metre resolution, from my Bartlett MSc thesis: the fusion resolves neighbourhood heat variation that no single source captures alone, and yields ranked, explainable cooling priorities.

chrono.city

2025–present

An archived prototype that ran live urban analytics for anywhere on the planet entirely inside one browser tab, with no server in the loop, computed from open global data.

Founder and full-stack developer · Global urban data

Open entry

Spatial Derive

2023–present

A walking instrument that makes the phone already in your pocket a way to record the street's sensory texture, the layer satellites and administrative data leave out, by deepening attention rather than optimising a route.

Founder and artist-technologist · Body, street and city

Open entry

No One Home

2026

Open housing evidence, built with the London Renters Union: fragmented official data reconciled into 296 comparable councils and a Lewisham map you can actually investigate.

Researcher and developer · England and Lewisham

Open entry

Geospatial Careers

2024–present

A working instrument for the spatial-data field: where its roles are, what they pay, what they demand, and who its map leaves out, built to show its own confidence rather than assert it.

Founder and lead developer · Labour market and community

Open entry

Invisible Borders Companion

2026

A mobile field companion for the Marrakesh-to-Lagos road, built to record borders as lived conditions rather than fixed lines, with its own honesty encoded in the data model.

Artist-researcher and developer · Route and territory

Open entry

Upside Down World

2023–present

A live, interactive re-projection that turns the 1569 Mercator worldview against itself: flip the planet south-up and its familiar neutrality falls away, exposing north-on-top as a five-hundred-year-old choice, not a fact.

Artist and developer · Planetary representation

Open entry

Urban Circularity Assessment

2022–2023

Material-flow analysis of urban circularity, developed within the CityLoops programme, made legible through interactive Sankey diagrams.

Researcher and spatial data analyst · Urban metabolism

Open entry

Climate Intelligence

2026–present

An open, keyless climate instrument: hand it any coordinate on Earth and it returns a sourced, multi-hazard exposure profile with a live satellite view, then hands the whole engine to AI agents.

Founder and full-stack developer · Global, any coordinate

Open entry

Where the EA Said No

2026 · work in progress

A browser-native map and scraping pipeline that pulls flood-risk planning decisions out of hundreds of separate council portals and shows, case by case, where homes were approved on floodplains against the Environment Agency's own objection.

Developer and data engineer · England and Wales planning system

Open entry

Twenty Years on the Lower Lea

2026

A two-hour walking workshop that reads twenty years of Olympic Park regeneration critically, on foot, where every engineer's phone becomes a voting booth and the walk itself is the data.

Artist and developer · Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London
