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.

All selected projects

CommunityAI

2026–present · Current engagement

Technology and data direction for an early-stage community-intelligence venture, turning public, area-level evidence into a privacy-safe and auditable product without representing model signals as client outcomes.

Chief Technology Officer (Designate) · Organisation and platform

Open entry

Climate Intelligence

2026–present · Prototype

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

Shaping Cool Cities

2024–present · Ongoing research

An urban-heat study 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 model tests how much neighbourhood heat variation these sources explain together and where their relationships differ by city.

Researcher and developer · Six European cities

Open entry

Geospatial Careers

2024–present · Publication held

A research and product prototype for the spatial-data field: where its roles are, what they pay, what they demand, and who its map leaves out. Publication is held while the public data and deployment gates are repaired.

Founder and lead developer · Labour market and community

Open entry

Spatial Derive

2023–present · Ongoing practice

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

Upside Down World

2023–present · Ongoing practice

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

chrono.city

2026 · Archived prototype

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

No One Home

2026 · Completed civic project

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

Invisible Borders Companion

2026 · Prototype

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

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 · Delivered commission

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

Open entry

CityLoops: Urban Circularity Assessment

2022–2023 · Completed research

A city-scale material-flow and stock accounting method with system-wide indicators, developed within Horizon 2020 CityLoops, Closing the Loop for Urban Material Flows, and adapted from Eurostat's economy-wide framework for urban circularity decisions.

Co-author · Horizon 2020 grant 821033 · Five CityLoops pilot cities

Open entry

CENTRINNO: Urban Ecosystem Cartography

2021–2022 · Completed research

A shared urban-ecosystem mapping methodology and cartographic infrastructure for nine European pilot cities, developed within Horizon 2020 CENTRINNO, New CENTRalities in INdustrial areas as engines for inNOvation and urban transformation.

Co-author · Horizon 2020 grant 869595 · Nine European pilot cities

Open entry

Social Superblocks

2019–2020 · Completed research

A spatial allocation method for Barcelona's home-care service that moved from neighbourhood demand to contiguous service zones, using the social-superblock model to connect urban form with how care is organised.
