“I had the pleasure of working with Alex on a number of projects, his enthusiasm, wide ranging knowledge of all things current in the world of technology were a great asset to our team. He was always quick to grasp a problem and engage in suggesting and delivering innovative solutions. I would highly recommend Alex as a very versatile individual who would fit into any organisation and have a very positive impact.”

Über uns
I work with dev teams, product managers and designers to deliver customer focused products. I’ve worked in SaaS for 4+ years, as well as multiple hardware companies and have helped lead teams to at all points in a product lifecycle from new products, to scale ups, and maintenance and rebuild of legacy platforms.
I love thinking about problems from a user’s perspective, including the product, design and UX. I often work with support, sales and marketing to take a holistic approach to delivering the right solution for the customer.

Towards Standardized User and Application Interfaces for the Brain Computer Interface
Springer
In this paper, we consider two obstacles preventing widespread deployment of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology: the lack of standardization for the user interface and the applications interface. We suggest a structure for an intuitive graphical user interface (IGUI) and propose a methodology for usability testing. A universal application interface (UAI) based on Universal Plug and Play and deployed by Open Services Gateway initiative is proposed. This issues user commands and receives…
In this paper, we consider two obstacles preventing widespread deployment of Brain Computer Interface (BCI) technology: the lack of standardization for the user interface and the applications interface. We suggest a structure for an intuitive graphical user interface (IGUI) and propose a methodology for usability testing. A universal application interface (UAI) based on Universal Plug and Play and deployed by Open Services Gateway initiative is proposed. This issues user commands and receives device status; and communicates to the IGUI using an eXtensible Mark-up Language file containing menu definitions. Using this approach we have achieved control of simple domestic devices, using ‘plug and play’ technology, interaction with a set top box and media player for entertainment applications.

Contrasting Levels of Accuracy in Command Interaction Sequences for a Domestic Brain-Computer Interface Using SSVEP
IEEE CIBEC
Providing a usable domestic brain-computer interface (BCI) for persons with disabilities requires that the development team ensure ease of interaction for all the potential users. To do this for individuals with complex needs often requires that an approach is tailored to a specific user. However, in developing a domestic BCI it is necessary to consider the provision of an application which hides the complexity of the underlying science from the user whilst delivering acceptable levels of…
Providing a usable domestic brain-computer interface (BCI) for persons with disabilities requires that the development team ensure ease of interaction for all the potential users. To do this for individuals with complex needs often requires that an approach is tailored to a specific user. However, in developing a domestic BCI it is necessary to consider the provision of an application which hides the complexity of the underlying science from the user whilst delivering acceptable levels of interaction for many. This is not an unusual circumstance in the realm of assistive technology. We present a cohesive test suite which allows the development team to assess what constitutes an acceptable level of accuracy in a four-way command interface using steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEP). It also facilitates a uniform assessment of the level of accuracy achieved by a specific user operating a BCI and provides a means of contrasting and selecting performance parameters in order to enhance user performance.

Scoping the Potential for Anytime-Anywhere Support Through Virtual Mentors
Higher Education Academy - ICS Annual Conference
Anytime-anywhere student support is a growing area of investigation as indicated by its inclusion in a range of University policies and academic research. A range of technologies can be applied to support teaching and learning, however they have limitations in providing students with anytime-anywhere support. This article proposes a holistic approach, which blends different available technologies in a Virtual Mentor. A Virtual Mentor is not normally intended to replace a human mentor but can…
Anytime-anywhere student support is a growing area of investigation as indicated by its inclusion in a range of University policies and academic research. A range of technologies can be applied to support teaching and learning, however they have limitations in providing students with anytime-anywhere support. This article proposes a holistic approach, which blends different available technologies in a Virtual Mentor. A Virtual Mentor is not normally intended to replace a human mentor but can offer support when a human mentor is not available. This new approach is contrasted with currently used technologies to show its advantages.
