What I actually do
I work at the point where technology, infrastructure and capital meet. As a deep tech advisor and energy transition consultant, that includes building and scaling companies, structuring projects, and helping investors, founders and operators turn technical capability into something that functions commercially.
The technologies vary across energy systems, advanced materials, sensing systems, robotics and mobility, but the underlying problem is consistent. It is not whether something works. It is whether it holds together when you try to scale it beyond a first deployment.
Most do not. That is where I tend to get involved.
Where I focus
- Energy systems, hydrogen infrastructure and commercial deployment
- Advanced materials and industrial applications
- Sensing technologies, robotics and deep-tech ventures
- Mobility, transport and real-world deployment constraints
What this site is
This site is a working notebook for deep tech, energy systems and commercialisation. It brings together analysis from real projects, deployments and conversations across technology, infrastructure and markets.
The focus is practical: what works, what does not, and where things start to break when you move from something that works once to something that needs to scale.
That includes work on transport decarbonisation, industrial systems, and the economics of real-world deployment.
Working on something that needs to scale?
If you are trying to move from a working pilot to something that actually scales, and it is not progressing, the issue is usually not the technology.
It is whether the system holds together once it is put under real conditions.

ArchiveConversations & Briefings
Some conversations remain informal. Others develop into private briefings, advisory work, due diligence, board roles, introductions, roundtables or longer-term projects. The website is not here to force that process. It is here to make the right conversations easier to start.
